Introduction to workplace learning and assessment in primary care.

The London and Kent, Surrey and Sussex Multiprofessional Faculty Development team is responsible for commissioning the training for prospective clinical and educational supervisors in primary care. Historically this has been provided via the 'introduction to teaching in primary care' (ITTPC) course for clinical supervisors; and the certificate for teachers in primary care and latterly the 5-day GP trainer course for educational supervisors. The intention is to develop a primary care educator pathway with an emphasis on supervision of workplace learning. This will comprise a 3-day course 'Introduction to workplace learning and assessment in primary care' for all primary care clinical supervisors and a two-day bolt on course for this those who wish to be GMC registered educational supervisors.
