2. How to develop your knowledge and skills as a JPB supervisor

We suggest that JPB London supervisors undertake the following activities to develop the requisite knowledge and skills over time:

1. Work through the start up guide
2. Read the articles in the recommended reading list
3. Access supervisor training in JPB London

3. Shared Resources Provided by Individual Training Centres

One of the most helpful aspects of supervisor support is the opportunity for Training Centres to share what they are doing locally.  The Blackboard system has a section where Educational Programme Director (Lead Trust Tutors) can offer, and also look, for strategies and tools produced locally to run the Diploma in General Pharmacy Practice programme. 

The JPB Lead for Work-based learning reviews and maintains this site to ensure relevance, and many Training Centres have found ideas that are useful to them.  Educational Programme Directors are invited to send material that might be helpful for other Training Centres to Barry Jubraj.

To find this information, log onto Blackboard, click on "Tutor Information and Resources" tab, then click on "example material".
