This book argues that the reflective process is at the heart of effective clinical supervision and sets out to do four things: to review the most up-to-date literature on clinical supervision; to make the case that the reflective conversation is the centrepiece of the process; to show how clinical supervision can be enhanced through critical reflective practice; and to present a generic and holistic model of supervision. The book highlights the negotiation, mutual understanding and empathy skills needed by both supervisor and supervisees. The readership includes: nursing students, general nurses, specialist nurses, supervisors, managers.
