NURSING CLINICAL SUPERVISION GROUPS
What is Clinical Supervision?
Small groups of health professionals meeting to discuss and share their practice.
Why come along?
Clinical supervision is recognised as a supportive way to facilitate learning from experiences for nurses. Discussing clinical practice in a safe & confidential environment encourages reflective practice, improves competence & quality of care.
Who should be involved?
Any nurses working in primary care that would find discussions with other nurses valuable.
Clinical supervision was trialled at portfolio courses run in 2011. The feedback was fantastic so we have decided to run regular sessions for Primary Care Nurses.
