A survey of all UK deaneries was carried out to identify the processes and procedures associated with the approval of GP clinical and educational supervisors and to document the current similarities and difference between deaneries. The results of the survey were placed in the context of recent literature. Results showed notable variation in some areas as well as relatively recent developments becoming established practice, such as the requirement for a certificate of medical education. Overall, results indicate a time of transition and the potential for practice to be aligned across deaneries and local education and training boards (LETBs).
By using actors, the scenarios can be played up or down in order to challenge participants and maximise their learning. More research is needed to develop this approach further in other medical education contexts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
