This subject aims to provide students with foundational knowledge related to clinical supervision. Clinical supervision is a supportive formal process which enables health care professionals to develop and improve practice, thus potentially improving outcomes for services and service users. Students will explore various models and theories which underpin clinical supervision, and the principles of effective supervision, including legal, ethical and professional considerations. Students will be encouraged to develop skills in self-awareness and reflective practice and to apply these skills to enhance professional growth and outcomes for service users.
