Trainees often perceive that supervisors are not approachable.
Supervisors often say, ‘But I am always here, they can ask me anything.’
The aim of this workshop will be to explore the concept of approachability and how this impacts on
building and strengthening the registrar–supervisor alliance. The workshop will take the participants
through four key factors of an approachable supervisor and how these can implemented in the
practice through various stages of the training such as orientation, feedback session and day-to-day
teaching. Participants will be able to reflect on personal experiences of approachable leadership.
Participants will discuss the GPSRM (GP Supervisor Relationship Measure) to look at three factors
(safe base, supervisor investment and registrar professionalism) and how to utilise this in their practice
to enhance the registrar–supervisor alliance.
