CCT vs FCE

I am sure many people had or are having this difficulty in clinics as in whom to listen to and whose advise to take on board when both of your tutors have different opinions on the same issue. Not to mention those who is having more than 2 supervisors in the same facility and I can definitely understand how hard that is.
Nevertheless, I do understand it is definitely more beneficial to have additional help and valuable advice from more experienced individuals and the more the better!! however, these advices can vary between individuals due to their personal experiences + knowledge (even though they both can lead to better outcome for the patients). And students are usually stucked in between.
I mean I do support the fact that CCT and FCE are equally important especially in a busy ward when FCE has a busy busy workload and is having 3-4 students at the same time. So my question is obliviously what to do when we face this situation? and obliviously some discussions will be needed and I reckon these are the best options. First is to approach our supervisor in more of a suggestion manner rather than a condemning manner such as 'because CCT/FCE said so' eliminating his/her advice without considering them. Second would be to discuss with both CCT and FCE at the same time. Does anyone have any better suggestion?
Sorry if I am not being too clear due to the long weekend...
