Liaising with other tutors/medical school/clinical supervisor so
that information is shared and all are kept informed is important.
• Information should be logged in a central place to provide an
overview and prevent duplication.
• Follow-up is important to prevent people slipping through
the net.
• And finally, for the tutor working with students in difficulty,
collaborating with colleagues, sharing problems or taking part in
formal supervision is essential to prevent isolation and ensure a
balanced view.
