Supervision and Consultation, Continuing Professional Development
Modules from the post-graduate programme in Supervision and Consultation can be attended separately as stand alone training for continuing professional development requirements. Successful completion of each module will require attendance and a pass in academic assignments. The Supervision and Consultation Practice module is normally taken in conjunction with the Supervision of Supervision and Consultation module, but under certain circumstances it may be possible for NHS staff to attend these modules separately.
Attendance at the University is every 2-4 weeks during term time except for the Supervision and Consultation Practice module which is conducted at the students’ place of work.
