Improving clinical supervision and training - Tony Forshaw

In this session, Tony Forshaw explores practical ways to improve clinical supervision in echocardiography, focusing on the current challenges and opportunities within training environments. He highlights the variability in supervision, the need for more structured processes, and the importance of supporting supervisors in their role. Key strategies include developing clear training plans, providing regular and constructive feedback, creating safe learning environments, and tailoring teaching to individual trainee needs. The session also emphasizes the value of simulation, reflective practice, and structured competency-based training. A major focus is on teaching deliberate scanning techniques, using precise probe movement language and systematic approaches to improve learning efficiency and reduce frustration. This session is ideal for sonographers and educators aiming to enhance training quality and support better clinical outcomes.
