  These example Educational Supervisor reports and notes are examples of useful and less useful reports, with advice to supervisors about what to include. They will be relevant to academic supervisors as well as educational supervisors.ARCP and other panels look to supervisors for clear judgements about competence, progress and delivery of objectives. It is most useful for the panel and the Specialty Registrar when the supervisor is specific in their praise and their criticism, and constructive and definite in their recommendations. Please note that Specialty Registrars always have areas for development…just like the rest of us!Academic supervisors will generally focus on academic progress.
