Resources

Clinical Supervision is a formal process of professional support, reflection and learning that contributes to individual development.  Clinical Supervision is supported for nurses by NMC and for other disciplines through their professional bodies.  Please find useful resources below. It is recommended that practices have a Clinical Supervision policy, many use templates from Practice Index but there are some examples included within the resources. 

A Devon Clinical Supervision Community of Practice has been established to facilitate peer support and sharing of good practice.
