Obligations of the General Practice and the Clinical Supervisor
To:

- ensure the Clinical Supervisor makes sufficient time available for the effective supervision of the F2, in line with the recommendations described in PPGMDEs Simple Guide.
- identify a consulting room to be used by the F2. This does not need to be the same room always.

- ensure the F2 doctor can access a senior colleague for help and advice at all times. This should never be a locum only.
- ensure that an individual doctor’s timetable allows attendance at formal teaching sessions and learning sets organised through the Employer.
- ensure the guidance has been followed for travel time to practice (please refer to the F2 in GP information sheet)
- ensure the trainee does not have unsupervised access to children until the results of the Employer’s checks with relevant authorities are confirmed.
- alert the Educational Supervisor and relevant Trust Foundation Programme Director to any concerns about an F2’s performance as soon as possible.
