Supervision: how it works

Article Abstract:

A clinical supervision project is described. Clinical supervision helps nurses develop good practice and adapt to changes. Staff who are chosen to undertake supervision need to have time and enthusiasm for the role. Managers need to know that the purpose of supervision is to support, educate and maintain standards and nurses should be aware of the aims, the main people involved and how the supervision will be organized. Training and support for supervisors is very important. The supervision should be evaluated once it is established so that problems can be identified and overcome.

Replies received from 273 trust nurse executives indicated that progress in implementing clinical supervision is occurring, but it is hindered by shortage of resources, competition from other priorities and lack of training. Many nurses and managers are keen to implement clinical supervision but they feel ill-prepared and poorly-supported and are experiencing difficulties with their implementation strategies.
