Course outline
Clinical supervision is a regular and formal process allowing clinicians structured time to receive reflective and practice-based support. It is facilitated by a clinical supervisor with the aims of developing quality care, accountability, learning and personal competence to meet organisational, professional, and personal objectives. Promoting the best outcomes for service users, it is a proactive process that is led by the needs of the supervisee. A supervisor should not be the supervisee’s line manager or appraiser.
The focus is on the professional development of the supervisee is based on their needs. Clinical supervision is most used in health services for the support of nurses and is valuable for revalidation. The content of sessions will include:
- Current supervisee concerns, worries.
- Innovation/service development.
- Professional issues.
- Topical events.
- New/changed policy and implications on practice.
- New/updated learning from research.
- Learning lessons from national reviews.
While clinical supervision is not a mandatory requirement for NMC revalidation, it is considered best practice because:
- Supervision sessions can provide the basis for reflective accounts needed for revalidation.
- Discussions in supervision can feed directly into the reflective discussion requirement.
- It demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the NMC code core principles of safety, professionalism, and accountability.
- In summary clinical supervision supports professional development, wellbeing and safe patient care which are all principles of the revalidation process.
These sessions will be capped at six supervisees.
