Taught in tandem with Effective Clinical Teaching, this subject provides participants with a foundation in the principles and practices of vocational supervision that are unique to the health professions. Effective Clinical Supervision takes the theories and principles studied in the co-requisite subject and applies them to clinically-qualified learners who are further developing their career as a health professional. A diverse range of learning activities will dovetail with those provided in Effective Clinical Teaching to emphasise the similarities and differences between education and training. An intensive option will appeal to clinicians requiring greater flexibility.
Modalities will include lectures (1 hour), seminars or symposia (1 hour) and small group work (2 hours).

- develop a critical understanding of the principles of effective clinical supervision, instruction and assessment of competence;

- develop a trainee-centred approach to clinical supervision and training;
- understand the variety of clinical training opportunities that exist and the different approaches to safe and effective supervision that can be used within them;
- demonstrate an analytical and reflective approach to their clinical supervision activities and a recognition of their professional responsibilities in this area.
Generic skills
After completing this subject, participants should be able to:
- apply theories and principles to specific clinical supervision contexts;
