Synopsis

This is the first practical book on clinical supervision for nurses. It offers ways of understanding the context of clinical supervision in nursing, especially why it has taken so long to be seen as important, and pinpoints organizational and personal pitfalls that can sabotage its effectiveness. The book provides practical guidance for supervisees, emphasizing self-empowerment and developing the reflective skills necessary to make full use of clinical supervision. It offers clinical supervisors an in-depth look at their one-to-one and group facilitation skills and shows how to develop them. It gives guidance to managers on how to sponsor and co-ordinate systems of clinical supervision. While this book draws on theoretical literature on the subject of clinical supervision in nursing and allied professions, readers will also benefit from the authors' direct experience in participating, observing, training and consultancy in clinical supervision.
