Educational Supervision (Blended Learning Delivery)
The role of the Educational Supervisor in developing tomorrow’s doctors has been firmly established and enhanced. “The New Doctor” (GMC) was published 1997; “A Guide to Registrar Training” 1998 (Department of Health) commonly known as the Orange Guide and later revised as “A Guide to Postgraduate Specialty Training in the UK in 2007” (The Gold Guide)
Effective educational supervision is at the core of Postgraduate training in all medical specialties. It follows that a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities is fundamental to effective educational supervision. There are a number of competencies required to facilitate good educational supervision so that the trainee’s opportunities for professional development are maximised. Unfortunately a small percentage of trainees experience problems during the course of their postgraduate training. In these circumstances skilled help is required to assess and enable progress.
The Deanery Course is designed to allow new Consultants to perform their role in this regard effectively, enjoyably and to trainers’ and trainees’ mutual satisfaction. Clearly from the Trust’s perspective, arranging appropriate educational supervision is important for governance, risk and patient safety reasons.
Course Outline
The new format of blended e-learning & face to face delivery will consist of four online modules and a half day face to face classroom session to complete the course.
The online modules are:
- Appraisal of Trainees
- Trainees in Difficulty
- Educational Supervision
- Workplace-based Assessment
The first 2 modules (Approval of Trainees and Trainees in Difficulty) will be available via the e-learning website from 17 March 2009.
The remaining 2 modules (Educational Supervision and Workplace-based Assessment) are scheduled to go live on the website from 14 April 2009.
All 4 modules of the e-learning section of the programme have to be completed before attending the half day classroom training session. When you initially log on to the system you will be required to book into one of the available sessions before you can progress with the course.
CPD Points
The deanery has applied for CPD points and will update this section of the website once the amount has been decided.
