Dr Mahwash Yousaf, Consultant in Pain Medicine and Anaesthesia, has been recognised as our 1,000th GMC-accredited consultant supervisor, marking a significant milestone in UHBโs commitment to medical education and training.๐
Clinical and Educational supervisors play a vital role in supporting resident doctors throughout their training. As educational supervisors, they guide trainees in achieving key clinical competencies, provide structured feedback, and act as a consistent source of mentorship and support.
Dr Yousaf, who works across Heartlands and Solihull Hospitals, said: โFor me, it is about being able to give something back. It is almost part of the circle of life. I have always had a passion for teaching and enjoy every opportunity I have to pass on my knowledge to resident doctors.
โIt is really important to me that we offer that support both from a training point of view and from a wellbeing perspective for our future workforce. There have been many supervisors before me, and there will be many after me, but Iโm proud to be the 1,000th.โ
On the appointment, Dr Susan Dorrian, Deputy Medical Director (Education) and Emergency Medicine Consultant, said: โDr Yousafโs appointment not only recognises her personal commitment to developing others, but also reflects the vital role our supervisors play in supporting colleagues to become the best clinicians they can be. Reaching 1,000 accredited supervisors is something we should all feel proud of.โ
