Things that could be done negatively:

- Appropriate redefinition of learning objectives
- Challenge
- Real/relevant problems
- Making the Registrar provide the answers
- Negotiated objectives
Consider the use of a Registrar Diary so that the Registrar can jot down problems and bring them to each session and a Trainer Diary of the areas covered and agreed objectives for the next session being recorded in this. This would give a good record of areas covered and progress made as well as focusing attention for teaching sessions.
