Clinical Supervision and Reflection on Clinical Practice Policy (P45)
Clinical Supervision (sometimes known as Reflective Practice or Reflection on Practice) has been defined as a regular protected time for facilitated, in depth reflection on clinical practice. It aims to enable the supervisee to achieve, sustain and creatively develop a high quality of practice through the means of focused support and development (Bond and Holland1998). Clinical Supervision is a structured, formal process through which staff can continually improve their clinical practice, develop professional skills, recognise good practice, maintain and safeguard standards of practice. Clinical Supervision can be conducted in groups or on a one-to-one basis. For group supervision the recommended size of the group is around four. Research suggests that to achieve quality and effective reflection and deep learning Clinical Supervisees should receive supervision from a supervisor who is not their manager (see “What Clinical Supervision is and is Not” DCHS Clinical Supervision Webpage.) The aim of this policy is to provide guidance to support managers wishing to set up or update existing systems of Clinical Supervision /Reflection on Practice and provide staff with information on how they can access clinical supervision/reflection on practice.
