Clinical Supervisors are qualified specialists who have
responsibility for the day-to-day supervision, training and assessment
of trainees who are doing a secondary care placement in their specialty.
The Gold Guide (section 4.27) (click
here for to view the GOLD site) requires that Each trainee
should have a named clinical supervisor for each placement, usually
a senior doctor, who is responsible for ensuring that appropriate
clinical supervision of the trainee’s day-to-day clinical
performance occurs at all times, with regular feedback.
All clinical supervisors should:
-
Understand their responsibilities for patient safety.
-
Be fully
trained in the specific area of clinical care.
-
Offer a
level of supervision necessary to the competences and experience of
the trainee and tailored for the individual trainee.
-
Ensure
that no trainee is required to assume responsibility for or perform
clinical, operative or other techniques in which they have
insufficient experience and expertise.
-
Ensure
that trainees only perform tasks without direct supervision when the
clinical supervisor is satisfied that they are competent so to do;
both trainee and clinical supervisor should at all times be aware of
their direct responsibilities for the safety of patients in their
care.
-
Consider
whether it is appropriate (particularly out of hours) to delegate
the role of clinical supervisor to another senior member of the
healthcare team. In these circumstances the individual must be
clearly identified to both parties and understand the role of the
clinical supervisor. The named clinical supervisor remains
responsible and accountable for the care of the patient and the
trainee.
-
Be
appropriately trained to teach, provide feedback and undertake
competence assessment of the trainees in the specialty. Be trained
in equality and diversity and human rights best practice.
Responsibilities
Clinical
supervisors oversee the day-to-day work of the trainee during that
placement. They are expected to:
-
hold
formative meetings with their trainee at the beginning, middle and
end of their placement.
-
use
WPBA assessment tools as
learning opportunities, formative assessments and to provide
evidence towards the record of competence progression collected in
the trainee’s eportfolio.
-
complete
a Clinical Supervisors Report (CSR) at the end of the placement. If
a trainee is in an integrated post working concurrently in more than
one specialty, then each clinical supervisor will complete a CSR.
