  • The role of ideas and evidence in professional learning
  • Teaching methods
  • Feedback
  • Curriculum planning and delivery
  • Clinical supervision – promoting safety, affordances and autonomy; the role of entrustability
  • Assessment – developmental, formative and summative
  • Teaching and assessment using clinical narrative (case based discussions)
  • Teaching and assessment using direct observation (clinical skills)
  • Learners in need of additional support – recognition and reporting

You will need to ensure that you receive a certificate of satisfactory completion at the end of the course in order to APPLY TO BECOME a Clinical Supervisor, OOH Supervisor or FY2 Supervisor role, and/or to enrol in the Educational Supervisor course to become a GP Trainer.
