Team assessment of behaviour (TAB) is the multi-source feedback assessment of professional behaviours that all UK foundation doctors must engage in twice during their two-year programme. TAB can identify the few underperforming trainees and provide feedback to consolidate the good practice of most. For optimum validity, TAB must be undertaken by a range of assessors, as specified in the national UK Foundation Programme curriculum. This study reports an audit of invalid TAB submissions over a three-year cycle in the West Midlands' Foundation Programme. In 2010, large numbers of TABs were invalid, owing to an incorrect selection or number of assessors. Introduction of validity checking before sign-off greatly improved the numbers of valid assessments in 2011. This was partially sustained in 2012. Assurance of assessment validity is important to ensure delivery of appropriate constructive feedback and to allow early detection and remediation of signs of poor professional behaviours in foundation doctors.
团队行为评估（TAB）是对专业行为的多源反馈评估，所有英国基础医生在其两年的培训计划中必须进行两次。TAB可以识别少数表现不佳的实习生，并提供反馈以巩固大多数人的良好做法。为了获得最佳有效性，TAB必须由一系列评估人员进行，这是英国国家基础培训计划课程中规定的。本研究报告了西米德兰兹基础培训计划在三年周期内对无效TAB提交情况的审核。2010年，由于评估人员选择不当或数量错误，大量TAB无效。在签字前引入有效性检查极大地提高了2011年有效评估的数量。这一情况在2012年部分得以维持。确保评估有效性对于确保提供适当的建设性反馈以及早期发现和纠正基础医生不良专业行为的迹象非常重要。
