Build the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to support learners effectively in the workplace.
The Practice Supervisor Programme provides flexible online learning for pharmacy professionals who supervise, support and assess trainees during workplace learning, rotations and placements.
Practice Supervisors play an important role in helping learners recognise opportunities for development, apply their knowledge in practice and build confidence within the workplace. This programme is designed for Practice Supervisors whose role includes the day-to-day supervision of trainees during specific rotations, placements or areas of practice.
It is also suitable for eligible pharmacy support staff who are involved in supporting workplace learning and trainee development.
Through five structured learning modules, participants will explore practical approaches to supervision, teaching, feedback and learner support.
The programme contains five required learning modules.
Each module focuses on an important aspect of effective workplace supervision.
In addition to the five required modules, participants can attend two optional live interactive webinars. The webinars provide an opportunity to apply learning to realistic supervisory situations, take part in facilitated discussions, reflect with peers and ask questions directly to the teaching team.
Developing Your Role as a Practice Supervisor
