In their work, doctors are exposed to strong emotions on the part of their patients. They need to learn to listen and not interrupt them; in general, after each consultation they focus on whatever was not accomplished. Therefore doctors need a secure environment in which they can examine common work conditions, as well as their own strengths and weaknesses, with colleagures in order to discover new ways of doing things. Based on this observation, it is a very positive development that supervision has become a part of the new specialist training for general practice.
