Top-up training for educational supervisors - 19 May 2025 - Online - PM Half Day

This half-day refresher workshop is designed for doctors who have already attended the RCP Educational supervisor workshop, or an equivalent course, in the last 3-5 years. It follows the General Medical Council’s requirements as set out in their standards for trainers.

The training will revisit and reinforce key aspects of the educational supervisor role, as well as building on the knowledge and skills developed in the RCP Educational supervisor 2-day course.

This course is suitable for doctors who have experience of supervising trainees of any grade and specialty, and delegates will have the opportunity to share and reflect on their experiences in the role.

What will I learn?

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

• review essential knowledge and skills for educational supervisors
• identify and discuss challenges of the supervisory role
• utilise effective feedback principles: moving from feedback to feed forward
• obtain constructive and useful feedback as a supervisor
• create an effective action plan for their personal development.

Important information prior to an Online workshop

Online events include small group discussions and interactive activities. Delegates will get the maximum benefit by being able to fully participate. This means:

1. When making your booking we recommend you use an email associated with a Microsoft account. We require delegates to be logged into a Microsoft account to be able to fully participate in small group discussions and interactive activities. You will also need to be logged in to Microsoft for the RCP systems to recognise you and be able to issue you with a Certificate of Attendance.
2. Some organisations’ security settings make it difficult to fully participate. If you have previously experienced issues accessing slides, video, audio, or breakout rooms whilst in Teams, please speak to your IT department prior to the event to troubleshoot. You can also contact the RCP to test-run the connections prior to the event. Most NHS accounts are linked to a Microsoft account and generally do not experience issues using Teams. Often home/personal emails are not linked to Microsoft and may not allow full participation.
3. You will have the best experience joining the event using a desktop or laptop. Mobile phones and tablets typically do not allow full participation. For best results ensure your device is up-to date with any required software updates.
4. You will need a microphone and a camera to fully participate.
