New resource offers 3,000 NCHDs not on formal schemes opportunity to record training
Module to be launched this month available through NER portal
A new module is to launch this month to offer 3,000 non consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs) not on formal training schemes, a resource to record their training and career development electronically, for the first time, in a standard generic format.
The principal objective of the new ePortfolio is to facilitate access to a secure, generic standard document for NCHDs who are not on a formal training scheme, which allows them to record their experience under a number of headings and enables them to generate a Logbook.
Over the past 12 months since the pandemic’s arrival, Hollywood embarked on a near-complete reworking of how it makes the TV shows and films that are the industry’s lifeblood. Gone are the massive crafts table and team lunches, in favor of new strict testing protocols, masks and color-coded or lettered zones. Sets are now more akin to a science lab.
The strict new protocols, the result of a six-month collaboration between the various unions and studios, have added millions to studio’s price tag, along with a new job to the call sheet: The COVID compliance officer.
Productions had to be more nimble than ever before, with many having to start and stop whenever a crewmember tested positive. Some shows, like Apple TV+’s “Mythic Quest,” even dealt with full-blown outbreaks. Even Batman himself couldn’t avoid COVID, after Robert Pattinson tested positive in the fall while in production in the U.K. for “The Batman.”
