Trainer Workshop

Aims and objectives

This entry-level workshop is aimed at those consultants, public health consultants and SAS-grade doctors who are about to undertake an educational role and covers the fundamentals of both Clinical and Educational Supervision.

Please note that you do not have to complete Trainer Workshop if you have recently completed the Pre-CCT Trainer Workshop. 

It is a prerequisite for all GP ESs wishing to move into a training role within their practice, prior to undertaking the General Practice Trainer Entry Course (GP TEC).

This course is suitable for initial recognition as a trainer only.  NB It is not suitable for those seeking to be re-recognised and will not be accepted as evidence for re-recognition purposes.

The course will be delivered in two parts:

Part 1: E-Learning module (must be completed to a deadline prior the workshop).

Part 2: The online workshop (which we deliver using Adobe Connect - download instructions below). Please note that some workshops are now being delivered locally, by regional faculty groups.
