This perennial bestseller provides a practical and accessible, skills-based text on how to implement and engage in clinical supervision. It provides clear frameworks to guide learning, with real-life examples from across the range of nursing specialisms.
Offering grounded perspectives on supervision for nurses, it has been thoroughly updated to reflect changes and developments in the profession.
The book includes: exploration of the theory and development of clinical supervision; an analysis of the process and skills of in-depth reflection; guidelines on developing key skills for both supervisors and supervisees; a critique of group supervision and ways to make it more effective; and, new ideas for developing organizational frameworks for supervision.
The authors' wealth of experience is reflected in their outline for a code of ethics that addresses self-disclosure and accountability issues in clinical supervision. This book is key reading for nurses, midwives and health visitors and their managers as well as professional support workers and educators who have an interest in the practical implementation of clinical supervision.
