Proposed framework for Public Health Supervision in the West Midlands
The West Midlands Postgraduate School of Public Health recognizes the continuity of professional development in medical education across the consultant career. The role of Educational and Clinical Supervision is core to the training of Specialty Registrars, in addition to supervision of trainees in other post-graduate medical training. In addition, Activity or Project Supervisors – people with expertise in specific elements of Public Health, but not necessarily Consultants - may support Specialty Registrars with specific projects.
Becoming a supervisor
To apply for recognition as a supervisor, Consultants in Public Health must:
-
Fulfil the FPH requirements for educational supervisors
-
Have current local training around equality and diversity
-
Have the supervisor role specified within their Job Plan
Step 1: The application form for recognition as a Public Health Supervisor can be found here:

Step 4: Yearly - In order to maintain your status you will need to attend an update session (lasting half a day) for each of the four training themes within a three-year period.

Equivalent training (outside of West Midlands)
If an equivalent course has been undertaken outside of West Midlands, the prospective ES/CS should forward the course details and an attendance certificate to england.publichealthtraining.wm@nhs.net
Upon receipt of this information, the team will seek DME approval for the supervisor’s name to be added to the West Midlands’ Supervisor Register.
Step 6: Every 3 years you will need to complete the re-validation survey which can be found here: Re-validation Survey.
