RESOLVING CRITICAL ISSUES IN CLINICAL SUPERVISION

Address key challenges in clinical supervision with this comprehensive account of common critical issues faced by almost all practitioners

Clinical supervision is a crucial aspect of clinical practice across the health and social professions. It can directly impact patient outcomes, shape clinical careers, and generally enhance professional development more broadly. The relationship between a clinical supervisor and their supervisees is therefore a hugely important one, embedded within challenging health and social care settings, which produces unique and complex challenges, but for which little formal guidance exists.
