As senior supervisors, you carry significant responsibility: navigating competing demands, supporting trainees through challenge, and keeping units engaged in fostering psychologically safe, high-quality learning environments. Yet opportunities to come together, share wisdom, and strengthen your own supervisory practice are rare.

This workshop is created to change that.

Why You Should Attend

The workshop will be an immersive, collaborative workshop crafted to give experienced supervisors what they tell us they need most:

• Solutions to the challenges you face every day: Learn and share practical strategies for handling common supervision hurdles, including helping trainees take ownership of their learning, balancing support and challenge, managing expectations in busy clinical units, and fostering psychological safety.
• Guidance for navigating complex and resource-intensive situations: Work through real scenarios involving professionalism concerns, trainees in difficulty, and distinguishing between training issues and HR/performance issues. Develop clearer frameworks for escalation.
• A stronger voice: Contribute to a collective supervisor priorities list to be taken forward to the College and unit leadership.
• A refreshed vision for the future of supervision: Co-create what great supervision should look like in the coming decade and explore development pathways for future supervisors of training.
• A powerful sense of belonging: Connect with peers, share experiences, and strengthen your identity within a practice-leading community.

What the Day Will Look Like

Across the 1-day program, you can expect:

• Interactive group work
• Scenario-based learning
• Collaborative problem-solving

The workshop is designed to be practical and energising, with plenty of time for discussion, networking, and reflection.
