Description
Supportive Clinical Supervision is the first systemic, evidence-based guide to the principles and practices of restorative clinical supervision, an organisational tool for reducing employee stress, promoting positive outcomes, and enhancing the emotional well-being of people at work.
Supportive Clinical Supervision provides employees with a safe, confidential space to discuss the impact of work pressures, process challenging emotional aspects of their roles and reflect on work-life balance, and it is widely accepted as an effective means to maintain well-being and boost resilience in healthcare work.
In practice, however, the availability of restorative supervision to workers is often haphazard or superficial, with the growing recognition of supervision’s wider role in professional development yet to extend to its potential as a tool for enhancing staff well-being. Tackling this issue, Supportive Clinical Supervision presents the most up-to-date theory and practical guidance on how people cope with the diverse challenges they encounter in their work as healthcare professionals, and how their employers can help.
