The Clinical Supervisor's Report

 

The Clinical Supervisors Report (CSR) forms part of the evidence which is gathered through WPBA. The ePortfolio has a section for the clinical supervisor to write a short structured report on the GPStR at the end of each hospital post. This covers:

• The knowledge base relevant to the post
• Practical skills relevant to the post
• The professional competences

What to do

The electronic form provides reminders of the definitions of the competences to make writing the report easier. It may also be helpful to refer to the relevant curriculum statement(s) on the RCGP website in reporting on the knowledge and skills relevant to the post.

 

The report should identify any significant developmental needs identified during a placement, and also point up any areas where the GPStR has shown particular strengths. The report should describe the progress of the GPStR in terms of the evidence of competence rather than pass or fail. This information will feed into the relevant six monthly reviews and at that point a decision will be taken as to whether additional training is needed.
