I am passionate about clinical supervision as a professional support for nurses. Working as a health professional is psychologically taxing, especially managing the often-intense emotional work of caring for people facing life threatening or life changing health conditions. The systems we work in are also challenging. Engaging in regular, well-structured Clinical Supervision is an effective intervention to support health professionals in this work. Reflecting on practice (after the event) is the work of clinical supervision. Developing skills in reflecting on practice means we become more skilled at reflecting in practice and before practice. This increases our ability to choose our responses to others (be they consumers, carers or staff) in the moment. This decreases our reactivity and the risk of impulsive reactions which results in the increased possibility of helpful communication, less emotional drain, and the ability to practice with awareness.
