The role of trainers

[/fusion_title][fusion_tabs design=”classic” layout=”horizontal” justified=”yes” backgroundcolor=”” inactivecolor=”” bordercolor=”#00bcd4″ icon=”” icon_position=”” icon_size=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_tab title=”Clinical Supervisor” icon=””]

As a clinical supervisor, you:

1.Should be involved with teaching and training the PGDIT in the workplace.

2. Must support the PGDIT in various ways:

a) Direct supervision, in the ward, the community or the consulting room

b) Close but not direct supervision, e.g. in the next door room, reviewing cases and process during and/or after a session

c) Regular discussions, review of cases and feedback

3. May delegate some clinical supervision to other members of clinical team as long as the team member clearly understands the role and the PGDIT is informed. The trainee must know who is providing clinical supervision at all times

4. Will perform workplace-based assessments for the trainee and will delegate performance of WPBA’s to appropriate members of the multi-disciplinary team

5. Will provide regular review during the placement, both formally and informally to ensure that the trainee is obtaining the necessary experience. This will include ensuring that the trainee obtains the required supervised experience in practical procedures and receives regular constructive feedback on performance.

[/fusion_tab][fusion_tab title=”Educational Supervisor” icon=””]

An educational supervisor:

Works with individual trainees to develop and facilitate an individual learning plan that addresses their educational needs. The learning plan will guide learning that incorporates the domains of knowledge, skills and attitudes.
Will act as a resource for PGDIT who seek specialty information and guidance.
Will liaise with the Specialty/Programme tutor and other members of the department to ensure that all are aware of the learning needs of the PGDIT.
Will oversee and on occasions, perform, the PGDIT’s workplace-based assessments.
Will monitor the PGDIT’s attendance at formal education sessions, their completion of audit projects and other requirements of the Programme.
Should contribute as appropriate to the formal education programme.
Will produce structured reports as required by the School/Deanery.
In order to support trainees, will: –

a) Oversee the education of the PGDIT, act as their mentor and ensure that they are making the necessary clinical and educational progress.

b) Meet the PGDIT at the earliest opportunity (preferably in the first week of the programme), to ensure that the trainee understands the structure of the programme, the curriculum, portfolio and system of assessment and to establish a supportive relationship. At this first meeting the educational agreement should be discussed with the trainee and the necessary paperwork signed and a copy kept by both parties.

c) Ensure that the trainee receives appropriate career guidance and planning.

d) Provide the PGDIT with opportunities to comment on their training and on the support provided and to discuss any problems they have identified.
