Becoming a Supervisor

This provides potential new ES/CS with the theory. It should take approximately eight hours. We appreciate everyone has a different baseline of knowledge and skills, and therefore the advantage of working through the courses online means delegates can spend more time on the areas where their knowledge and skills are limited, and less time on those aspects in which they have the appropriate level.

The e-Learning should take approximately four hours for a Named Clinical or Project Supervisor, and approximately eight hours for an Educational Supervisor. Depending on previous experience and knowledge it could take longer. 

This provides the opportunity to embed the theory into practice, through small group discussion with experienced ES/CS course facilitators.

Delegates do not need to undertake all the courses within the e-Learning for Health folder – only those outlined for their role (in the above document) must be completed.

The e-Learning should take approximately four hours for a Named Clinical or Project Supervisor, and approximately eight hours for an Educational Supervisor. Depending on previous experience and knowledge it could take longer. 

The potential ES/CS/PS must submit their e-Learning course activity report to england.PDU.WX@nhs.net, before attending the group-learning session (to prove they have completed the relevant training and not just skipped through each slide… we all do it!). 

The facilitators will use this pre-session learning to tailor the discussions/group-learning.  

The potential ES/CS/PS must attend and actively engage in all the group-learning to be signed off by the facilitators.

The group-learning session facilitators will confirm to england.PDU.WX@nhs.net that each participant has actively engaged in the session (providing there has been active engagement).

The Wessex PDU team will notify the Wessex Quality Team that the potential ES/CS/PS has completed their e-Learning and attended/engaged in a group-learning session.

The Wessex Quality team will add the supervisor’s details to the Wessex Supervisor Register, and email the new supervisor confirming registration and details regarding ongoing recognition. The Quality Team will also upload the new supervisor’s details to the GMC Register.
