Balancing adequate supervision and autonomy for clinical trainees is an ongoing challenge. This study used qualitative methods to explore how general practice supervisors approach trainee help-seeking and in-consultation supervision. Findings highlight the role of entrustment processes between supervisor, trainee, and patient, and areas for improvement in the oversight of trainee consultations in general practice. A November 2018 Spotlight Case discusses the factors that determine entrustment decisions for trainees.
