NHS England East of England Approval Process of Clinical and Educational Supervisors
(Secondary Care only) - 3 Steps

Step 1 - Training

Newly appointed Clinical/Educational Supervisors or those who need re-approval are required to choose one option of training:

Option 1

Course delivered by College (fee applicable)

For more details, including dates and fees, please contact your College.

Option 2

Approved Trust course (free of charge)

NB. this applies for courses approved in 2022 onwards

 For more details please contact Postgraduate Centre in your Trust. 

Option 3 - Pre March 2024

The following option is currently under review whilst the HEI content is converted into online modules. 

For those that have already completed a HEI course, you can still complete the Clinical (HEE) online content and gain approval. Anyone else will need to complete one of the above two options for the time being. 

Tiered Approach (contract, but free of charge for individuals)

NB. Both components need to be completed:

• University (HEI) course - contract ended March 2024

• Clinical (HEE) online content (Panopto)

 NB. E-learning modules (https://www.e-lfh.org.uk/) are no longer required, although we recommend completing modules relevant for School/Specialty.

The above training is required every 3 or 5 years (depends on Trust policy)

Step 2 - Approval at Trust level
