Abstract:

Practice supervisors are fundamental in the development and upskilling of the future workforce in health care. This article outlines a new initiative for one higher education institution, which integrated practice supervisor training into the curriculum for third-year students across several healthcare programmes. The training consisted of two pre-recorded sessions, which were delivered by the students’ personal tutors. A final face-to-face session was then facilitated, where students were supported to consolidate their learning and build on their knowledge. Evaluation data were collected via an anonymous questionnaire. In total, 352 questionnaires were returned. Data were managed and analysed using descriptive statistics within Excel. The qualitative comments received were collated and analysed using simple thematic framework analysis. Most attendees found the content and the delivery of the programme and their opportunity for discussions to be good, very good or excellent, showing overall that content was positively evaluated by 98.4% of attendees, delivery at 97.4% and opportunity for discussion at 97.9%. The evaluation data results show that practice supervisor preparation can be effectively delivered when located in the final year for undergraduate healthcare students. The importance of the content being interactive and allowing for plenty of opportunities for group discussions has been highlighted by the feedback.
