Educational and Clinical Supervisors Core Programme

AoME and the GMC set clear standards for what supervisors should deliver. Most supervisors have never been walked through what they mean in practice.

This full workshop, delivered by experienced supervisors and education leaders, gives you that grounding through case studies and practical strategies you can use immediately.

• Clarify the roles and responsibilities of educational and clinical supervisors under current standards.
• Develop strategies for supporting residents and locally employed doctors through training.
• Build inductions that give new doctors real clarity from day one, not just a checklist.
• Encourage effective trainee reflection and manage critical incidents with confidence.
• Provide constructive feedback and foster a supportive learning environment for your trainees.
• Identify the factors affecting trainee performance and step in before small issues escalate.
• Support trainees with performance concerns through a fair, documented action plan.
• Recognise how differential attainment shapes performance, and adjust your approach accordingly.
• Apply the right level of support for a doctor returning to work after extended absence.
• Understand Portfolio, ARCP and workplace assessment methods, and craft supervisor reports that stand up to scrutiny.
• Know where to signpost trainees for professional support and wellbeing services, and when.
