Supervisor reports

Registrars should ask their supervisor to complete the supervision report for this year.

We’re going to be dropping the September reporting and instead, we'll ask you to provide a supervisor report at the same time we do an annual check of your training programme progress and recertification compliance. This occurs at your APC renewal.

Supervisor Training

Supervisors, remember that there’s information to guide supervision on the website, including some videos about supervision. We are finalising the programme for the supervision workshop which we will be able to hold online. Once we’ve set a date, we’ll be in touch with supervisors to offer you a place at the workshop.
