All Educational, Named Clinical and Project Supervisors with responsibility for the supervision of a doctor in postgraduate training must have GMC recognition as a supervisor. Without it, there is a risk that the period of supervised training will not be valid and cannot count towards accredited training time.
If a supervisor’s recognition of training status has expired, the trust education team should review with the DME immediately.
If the supervisor is currently supervising a doctor in training, DME/PH office to decide whether supervision can continue pending reapproval, or if an alternative recognised supervisor will need to take over the role, if this is the case, the TPD should be informed.
