We are delighted to share our new online module, ‘Clinical Supervision: Foundations for Practice’ which we recently released. The module, which is free for FNF members to undertake, aims to offer nurses and midwives an introduction to clinical supervision. It will provide some clarity on the key principles and core skills in order to demystify the concept and encourage the professions to access as both supervisors and supervisees.
Online Module Learning Outcomes
By completing the 6hr module, participants will be able to:
- Define and describe clinical supervision.
- Outline the underpinning principles of clinical supervision and its association with key concepts such as psychological safety and reflective practice.
- Analyse and apply a model of clinical supervision to practice.
- Consider structures and formats which enable clinical supervision to offer a safe space for reflection, support and learning.
- Explore the role of the supervisor as facilitator.
- Observe and identify fundamental interpersonal skills which enable supervisor to demonstrate empathy, attentive listening, validation and supportive challenge.
- Understand the benefits of clinical supervision.
The module does not need to be completed in one setting, and all those who complete the sessions and the evaluation form will receive CPD hours.
