Clinical supervision is something which affects all practising nurses. It forms an integral part of the drive towards quality and clinical governance. It is often regarded as something new, yet as this book shows, it is often about recognising activities that already happen in practice. The aim of this book is to provide a user-friendly, but thought-provoking, practical guide to clinical supervision.It assumes no previous knowledge and can be used by any practitioner who needs to engage in the process, or to implement it in any clinical setting. It does not insist that you adopt any particular approach, but rather concentrates on demonstrating ways in which clinical supervision can enhance practice through a process of reflection and regular clinical feedback, learning and support. It is based on the author's extensive experience of helping NHS Trusts and other healthcare organisations to implement clinical supervision and prepare both supervisors and supervisees. Many of the case studies and examples used are drawn from this real-life experience in practice.
