How well do you know your SLO?

The SLOs making up the national Supervisor Liaison Officer Advisory Committee facilitated by GPSA are a who's who of experienced GPs and RGs, practice owners, employed and tenant GPs - and they all have one main thing in common...

Did you know...

Once you have identified who your SLO is, to contact them at any time you only need to log into your GPSA Community app, search for their name, and send them a message directly from your phone?

You can also use the app or desktop version of the Community platform to reach out via the Jurisdictional Supervision Team community group you've been assigned to by postcode.

Note

  • As SLOs are engaged on fractional appointments, you may not always get an immediate response. For anything urgent, please contact GPSA or your College's regional training team.
