A questionnaire was sent to 129 paediatric SpRs in years 3 -5 in the North Thames region in the UK to find out their views of the educational supervision they receive from consultants. Participation was anonymous to encourage them to express their views and feelings.
There was 67% response rate. Many trainees found little value in the educational supervision, about a third rated the educational supervision they had received "a complete waste of time". Some found that it was little more than a form filling exercise.
When asked how the educational supervision can be improved, the trainees suggested that educational supervisors should learn to listen instead of talking, understand the needs of individual trainees and be encouraging.
