THEMES
Standardisation of supervisionImprove consistency.What are the standards for supervisors?Often training is too registrar led.Better understanding and support for registrars outside of standard training.Better understanding and tailoring of trainingDifferent backgrounds, wide range of skills; work and responsibility levels need to be better tailored.Training locations need a better understanding of registrars and what we have to offer.
THEMES
Better understanding of the deanery and SOPH functionGood support from the deanery.Better understanding of deanery function and policy would benefit registrars and supervisors.Recent changes in School of Public Health have shown a benefit in terms of quality of training and collaborative working.Improved HR functionThe most common concern.Current function is poor; basic legal needs are not met.Support is poor.Deanery support at resolving issues as they arise is good.
