As a GP supervisor you have at least 2 roles. One is as a GP in clinical practice and the other is as a teacher / supervisor. Your role as a supervisor is very important and much of what you do in this role is captured as CPD.
Your CPD comprises 2 parts: that done to prepare to be a supervisor (modules, workshops) and the supervision you do in practice, week to week, with a registrar.
1.Preparation for supervising and teaching involves:
- ♦ learning
- ♦ reading
- ♦ participation in online modules and workshops
2.The act of supervision involves:
- ♦ regular reflection on action and interaction with colleagues
- ♦ case review
- ♦ deconstruction of clinical decisions
- ♦ sharing and testing ideas and skills
