Introduction
The Primary Care Directorate (Yorkshire and the Humber) are supporting all learners in primary care, regardless of their primary care network location, to make sure they have:
- Access to a quality learning environment
- Appropriate education programme for their role (including multi-professional opportunities)
- Appropriate supervision for their role
- Appropriate pastoral support
They want to raise the quality and consistency of multi-professional supervisors and educators in primary care.
By March 2026, multi-professional supervisors will have:
- Formal recognition of their knowledge, skills, and competencies and be part of a system wide register of educational supervisors
- Ongoing support for their journey as an educator via CPD (Continuing Professional Development) opportunities and engagement in a Community of Practice
- An educational status and the wider system’s broader understanding and value of educators’ skills, knowledge, and capabilities for organisations
- Opportunities to engage in multi-professional learning around supervision and learning from other professions
The Primary Care School have developed a fully funded offer of clinical and educational supervision training sessions (half day sessions – free at the point of delivery), aimed at clinicians in primary care undertaking a supervisory role as part of a multidisciplinary team.
