Introduction to Workplace Learning and Assessment in Primary Care

Tender description

The London and Kent, Surrey and Sussex Multiprofessional Faculty Development team is responsible for commissioning the training for prospective clinical and educational supervisors in primary care. Historically this has been provided via the 'introduction to teaching in primary care' (ITTPC) course for clinical supervisors; and the certificate for teachers in primary care and latterly the 5-day GP trainer course for educational supervisors. The intention is to develop a primary care educator pathway with an emphasis on supervision of workplace learning. This will comprise a 3-day course 'Introduction to workplace learning and assessment in primary care' for all primary care clinical supervisors and a two-day bolt on course for this those who wish to be GMC registered educational supervisors. We invite institutions to tender bids to run the 3-day introduction to workplace learning and assessment in primary care course. The course will be a short non-accredited programme and participants who complete could do an extra piece of work, such as a short reflective portfolio on their workplace based application of what they have learnt on the course and submit to the HEI to mark - successful submissions would be given academic credits. To win the tender HEI's need to have a separate option that participants can apply for once they have finished the programme, so they can gain credits. We currently have a waiting list of 300 so would consider multiple providers.
