SPDP 1 | Practical Skills for Supervisors

This workshop incorporates the overarching themes of developing trainee expertise and using coaching techniques to improve feedback practice.

It focuses on delivering feedback using 2 frameworks: the GROW model and the 4 areas of feedback. By applying these models, supervisors can help trainees progress toward expert performance.

Objectives

  • Develop strategies for creating an effective learning culture

  • Describe the impact of feedback on trainee behaviour and performance

  • Increase confidence in providing effective feedback to trainees 

  • Increase confidence in supporting trainees who are not at the expected standard

SPDP 2 | Teaching and Learning in Healthcare Settings 

This workshop introduces practical teaching strategies to help supervisors manage challenges in complex healthcare settings. Learn how to plan for learning, use differentiated instruction for multi-level groups and apply questioning techniques effectively.

It explores cultural factors that influence learning, including the hidden curriculum, in-group and out-group dynamics, and the importance of role modelling.

Objectives

  • Understand the key elements of establishing an effective learning environment

  • Identifying challenges supervisors encounter in healthcare settings 

  • Explore strategies to maximise teaching opportunities  

  • Reflect on personal attitudes, beliefs and behaviours, alongside workplace culture, and evaluate their impact on supervisory practice and the quality of educational experiences
