Chris Millward from the Royal College of Physicians gave a presentation at the HEFCE Conference on lessons learned from the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF). The key points were: - The TEF process was found to be fair and transparent, with clear findings based on metrics, submissions, and guidance. - Minor refinements will be made to the TEF for Year Three, but the overall structure and methodology will remain the same. - A subject pilot will explore rating subjects as well as institutions using two proposed models. - Recruitment of panel members, providers, and subjects is underway for participation in the TEF and subject pilot in the future.
