Introduction to Clinical and Educational Supervision

The Primary Care Directorate (Yorkshire and the Humber) are supporting learners in General Practice, 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.
