OUR TEAM

The scheme is led by Training Programme Directors (TPDs). The Programme Directors will organise your training on the programme.

During each secondary care post you will have a Clinical Supervisor (CS) who will be one of your hospital Consultants. Your Clinical Supervisor will be responsible for the appropriate clinical supervision of your day-to-day clinical work. For the duration of your programme you will also have a GP Educational Supervisor (ES), who will be a local GP Trainer. Educational Supervisors are responsible for overseeing your clinical and educational progress.
