The NHS Management Executive defined clinical supervision in 1993 as:
"….a formal process of professional support and learning which enables individual practitioners to develop knowledge and competence, assume responsibility for their own practice and enhance consumer protection and safety of care in complex situations."
Essentially, clinical supervision allows a registered practitioner to receive professional supervision in the workplace by a skilled supervisor. It allows nurses and midwives and other health professionals to develop their skills and knowledge and helps them to improve care. Clinical supervision enables registered practitioners to:
- Identify solutions to problems
- Increase understanding of professional issues
- Improve standards of patient care
- Further develop their skills and knowledge
- Enhance their understanding of their own practice.
Clinical supervision should be available to registered practitoners throughout their careers so they can constantly evaluate and improve their contribution to the care of people. Along with the NMC's PREP (continuing professional development) standard, clinical supervision is an important part of clinical governance. The following information relates to registered nurses.
Midwives have their own statutory system of local supervision. Further information about this is published in the Midwives rules and standards and Modern supervision in action.http://www.nmc-uk.org/Documents/Midwifery-booklets/NMC-LSAMO-Forum-Modern-supervision-in-action.pdf
The Health professions Council also have a list of document relating to Continous Professional development
