What according to you is Supervision?
The word ‘supervision’ can be read as over-seeing, looking over someone’s shoulder to check on them; and also ‘it means outstanding or special, helping someone to extend their professional skills and understanding. This will be relevant to varying degrees in supervision, depending on the context. It can be helpful to think about supervision both in terms of development and performance.

How do you plan and implement your visits for supportive supervision
- Be clear about why there is a need for supervision and who has asked for it.
- Set a time frame for the supervision session; even a few minutes of focused time can be worthwhile.
- Protect the time and space where possible and appropriate; try to ensure there will be no interruptions and that there is privacy.
- Ensure that there is confidentiality; this means working in a place where the supervision cannot be overheard, and sharing identifiable personal details of patients only with those people who really need to know.
- Be transparent about the extent to which the supervision is about development or performance; this may need to be renegotiated or stated during the session.
