The CLWRota Training & Management Days are held on a day in mid-March at a central London location. The Training & Management days are held at approximately 6 month intervals from the Annual Forums.

The "T&M" Days focus on training and operational aspects of the rota in the morning, and management aspects including reporting and benchmarking in the afternoon.

The 2013 March Management & Training Day is scheduled for the 21st of March 2013, and will take place at the canal-side Battlebridge Room at King's Place, close to King's Cross station. The Training & Management days are useful events for those wishing to learn more about the sophisticated operation of CLWRota and how the best to make use of reports.

At the 2012 March Management & Training Day the CLWRota team presented several graphs showing both individual department and cross-departmental activity. The main focus of analysis data was cross-departmental benchmarks which incorporated data from 26 departments which have used the CLWRota anaesthetics rota management system for at least 12 months.

Data for the benchmark reports came from the CLWRota system together with session scoring information from an early release of our Rota Management Console. Each department's name has been replaced with a random two character code to maintain anonymity.

First, a set of graphs were shown of individual department activity. DCC activity of various types is stacked above the zero line, with leave shown below the zero line.

The department activity graph is useful for showing how various factors, such as trainee solo sessions or the extra & locum sessions, contribute to DCC session delivery. Variations in leave through the year can also be easily discerned, as can the balance of planned, unplanned (such as leave for sickness) and study/professional leave.

Few departments show a dip in activity in August 2011. The three bank holidays in April 2011 caused significant drops in activity across most departments.

In 2011 we held our first Training and Management events. The events were held at De Vere Venues West One on Portland Place in London. The Management event was our first attempt at collating and presenting benchmark data on departments using CLWRota.
