Who you gonna call?

Practice supervisors can access support and guidance at any point through their student’s course journey. Practices will often have a person or department responsible for the training and development of their employees and we would always advise contacting them as a first port of call as it may be that your query is related to policies that are enforced on a company basis – we would clearly wish to avoid possibly contradicting these at all times. Listed below are the various sources of advice that can be accessed by practice supervisors along with the areas of the courses that the particular body deals with.
