THIS EPISODE is about providing effective supervision in Primary Care. The role of supervisors and the provision of high-quality supervision needs to be given attention now because:

• There have been a whole multitude of new roles in Primary Care in the last few years, and most, if not all, require supervision
• The training path for those in well-established specialities, such as GP trainers, has undergone considerable overhaul so that large scale approvals can be now be undertaken far more easily.
• There is a growing need for cross-professional and multi-professional supervision

The conversation is between:

Simon Robinson, Advanced Clinical Practitioner (Paramedic by background) who manages a diverse Primary Care team in Devon, and is the key speaker, and

Dr Munir Adam, an experienced GP Trainer and the host.

USEFUL RESOURCES:

• Health Education England Workplace supervision for advanced clinical practice – advanced practice
• Centre for Advanced Practice Advanced practice supervision
• Health Education England Regional training hub contacts for workforce support
