My name is Stephanie Santos Paulo, I am an FY2 doctor working at Eastbourne District General Hospital. I really enjoy teaching and was one of three co-leads for the BSMS Foundation Teaching for Finals programme in Eastbourne. Our poster demonstrates our findings from the feedback given by medical students about our teaching sessions. 

The medical local faculty group (LFG) is a unique and powerful opportunity for medical trainees to highlight training and service issues to faculty. However this is not always utilised to its full potential. We aimed to maximise the impact of the trainee voice at the LFG using a multidirectional method of gathering feedback, and a ‘problem and solution’ approach when presenting to the faculty. This resulted in real-time impactful improvements in working and training.
