The recent trend to embed medical research at point of care has created a need for postgraduate research supervisors in hospitals who are practising clinicians and lab‐based researchers. We explored the training needs of supervisors to inform the design and evaluation of a hospital‐based development programme. We found that if hospital‐based supervisors are to improve their practice, the programme needs to be on‐site to ensure access and relevance to local issues.
