Refresher Training for Educational Supervisors (FD20MAY26)

The GMC (2012) states that ‘Doctors can be a named Educational Supervisor or named Clinical Supervisor without actively performing those roles all of the time. They must, though, maintain their skills by continuing to reflect on those roles – for example, through continuing professional development. This will need to be confirmed through their appraisal.’
