Explain supervision or trainee roles accurately

A team biography uses trainee, associate or supervised language without explaining what the patient should expect. Visitors may infer responsibilities or qualifications that the practice has not verified.

What to change

Ask the responsible professional to approve a plain explanation of the role and appointment arrangement. Keep the wording tied to the local service rather than general assumptions about titles.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A practice profile explains that a team member works within a stated supervised arrangement and directs appointment questions to the relevant service team. It does not make unsupported comparisons with other practitioners.

How to check the result

A visitor can understand the arrangement well enough to ask an informed booking question.

A mistake to avoid

Do not use a vague title to conceal the person's actual role, or invent assurances about supervision that have not been confirmed.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
