We recognise that involvement in all of the above processes will prove very stressful. Sometimes the situation may be impossible to resolve entirely satisfactorily. In such cases trainees may wish to reconsider options which would make life more acceptable. Changing educational supervisor within the rotation may be feasible. As a last resort, consider moving to another rotation but one would hope that this situation would not arise.

Remember that trainees may expect certain standards for their training and supervision, in which educational supervisors have a key role to play (Cox & Davies, 1994). Once these standards are achieved, this will develop a trainees' skills and provide an optimal working environment for both parties. It is a wise educational supervisor who considers the trainee as a professional who will soon become a consultant colleague.
