E-Learning for Clinical Teachers
Trust-based one-day workshops
Trust-based workshops can be organised for groups of 8-16 participants. Groups are made up from any combination of interested people e.g. members of a unit, a team, a group of consultants and STRs, educational supervisors for foundation year doctors etc. Trust-based workshops can be organised via your postgraduate education manager or director of medical education, or by contacting the London Deanery directly via the Faculty Development team (contact details below).
The workshop offers hands-on training in the essential skills for good supervision. In particular, it addresses the issue of how to balance confirmation with challenge when supervising everyone from high fliers to doctors in difficulty.
Much of the workshop is based on participants' own working experiences. There will be skills practice with some live coaching in small groups. Please come expecting to talk in confidence about current cases, and dilemmas with patients, trainees, colleagues and teams.
Please note that this is not a comprehensive workshop in how to be a clinical or educational supervisor, but it will equip you with essential conversational skills for those roles. The training does not cover the contents of the Gold Guide (e.g. roles and responsibilities of educational supervisors) or the 'nuts and bolts' of MMC (e.g. curricula or work-based assessment.)
To arrange a Trust based workshop

The Deanery offers facilitation of these workshops free of charge to London Trusts. However, Postgraduate Medical Education Centres will be required to advertise events, manage course bookings and organise teaching accommodation. We usually require approximately 4 month's notice to set up dates and recruit course facilitators.
Please note that Postgraduate Centre Mangers will be required to sign an agreement which outlines the responsibilities of both the London Deanery Faculty Development Unit and the Postgraduate Education Centre.
