Fundamentals of clinical supervision
A 1-day workshop that provides an overview of the assessment methods regularly used to assess performance in the workplace, and will help develop confidence in using them fairly and effectively.
fundamentals of clinical supervision provide an opportunity to observe, rate and feedback upon aspects of a trainee doctor's practice that are best observed in the authentic clinical environment.
Typically, the assessments consist of structured forms which direct the assessor's attention towards particular aspects of clinical practice, such as communication skills, procedural skills and clinical judgement.
This course is suitable to doctors of all grades and specialties, including trainees.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- recognise the differences, and the relationships, between assessment and appraisal
- use appropriate methods of assessment in a way that ensures reliability, validity, transparency, feasibility and educational impact
provide good quality, useful feedback - identify and maximise opportunities for workplace-based assessments
- overcome problems related to the assessment process.
