About the Supervision of COVID-19 Displaced or Shielding Trainees programme

This programme was developed for the educational supervisors of displaced or shielding doctors in training. However, supervisors and educators of trainees in other settings may find it useful.

The elearning content was developed in collaboration with displaced trainees who share their experiences of being displaced and demonstrates how they can be supported to progress in their training.

About the elearning

The elearning session defines a ‘displaced trainee’ and describes how to recognise if this applies to your trainee. This comprehensive session aims to support supervisors in ensuring trainees receive ongoing training and development to optimise their progression while they are displaced.

Supervisors are signposted to key resources, including guidance on supporting the wellbeing of displaced trainees.

The Supervision of COVID-19 Displaced or Shielding Trainees session includes:

• defining what a COVID-19 displaced trainee is and recognising if your trainee falls into this category
• explaining the 4 stages in the suppoRTT framework and how to implement it
• understanding how to support your trainee to maximise their educational and learning opportunities
• identifying activities that the displaced trainee can complete either at home or at work, dependent on their personal and professional needs and how these fit into the curricular and e-portfolio requirements for progression
• case studies with interactive videos and reflective questions
• signposting to key resources for displaced trainees and their supervisors
• checklists and guidance on risk assessments, pre-return, return and ongoing review meetings
• enhancing the supervisor’s understanding of the experience of displacement and its impact on a trainee, both professionally and personally, and enabling them to discuss these confidently with the trainee
• guidance for educational supervisors on communicating to the wider team regarding the experience of displacement and the support available to displaced trainees

The elearning session takes approximately 40 minutes to complete and enables educational supervisors to reflect on key learning points. A certificate can be downloaded on completion of the session.
