What to change
Ask the responsible professional to approve a plain explanation of the role and appointment arrangement. Keep the wording tied to the local service rather than general assumptions about titles.
A worked example
Illustrative example
A practice profile explains that a team member works within a stated supervised arrangement and directs appointment questions to the relevant service team. It does not make unsupported comparisons with other practitioners.


Put it into practice
Ask the team which questions newcomers usually raise. Clear, respectful wording supports informed expectations while avoiding both unexplained titles and claims about supervision that the practice has not confirmed.
Review captions, titles and booking labels together with the profile. A short label elsewhere on the site should not imply a different role from the carefully approved full description.
What to agree before publishing
Have the service lead confirm the exact role and practical supervision arrangement that can be explained publicly. Then ask a reader unfamiliar with the team what they expect from the appointment. Unexplained training titles can leave them uncertain, while broad assurances may imply details the practice has not confirmed. Check the short booking label and caption as well as the profile. All should describe the same role, with a useful route for questions about the planned appointment rather than an invented universal account of training.
How to check the result
A visitor can understand the arrangement well enough to ask an informed booking question.
A mistake to avoid
Do not use a vague title to conceal the person's actual role, or invent assurances about supervision that have not been confirmed.
