Clinical Nursing Supervision & Development

What is Clinical Nursing Supervision?

An activity that brings skilled Clinical Supervisors and Nursing Practitioners together in order to reflect upon their practice.

We develop a contract of understanding with each other regarding the process and time frame. It is about providing an effective timely service to the right people for the right reason and by the right qualified professional.

• It is about you, for you and only you.
• Monitor your own practice.
