Multiprofessional Supervision Courses and Supervisor Support

Introduction

The Primary Care Directorate (Yorkshire and the Humber) are supporting all learners in primary care, 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 (free at the point of delivery), aimed at clinicians and non clinicians in primary care undertaking a supervisory role as part of a multidisciplinary team.
