Table 1 Principles of blended supervision models applied more broadly to GP training [2, 5]

1. There is a blend of local and remote (offsite, technology-based) supervision

2. Local supervision (i.e. on-site) resources (e.g. onsite GPs, practice managers, Aboriginal health workers, practice nurses and allied health professionals), that provide the supervisee with face-to-face support and insights into the local context, are first identified and used

3. Off-site supervision and teaching are added to the local resources to ensure that the combined arrangement meets both patient safety requirements and registrar learning

4. All practices are unique, so blended supervision models will differ from one practice to another
