NET 2018 Conference: Supporting those that support others: The success of a regional clinical support and supervision program

The outcomes of this project have indicated that clinical staff have a need for a level of education in regard to their role as clinical support and supervisors. Many come to the role having years of clinical and supervisory experience but little formal preparation or education in the role. The investment in staff capability cannot be underestimated and no doubt contributes to an organisation being able to increase its capacity to support more healthcare learners. The future of our workforce depends upon the development of confident and competent practitioners with a healthy self-concept and a commitment to patient-centred care and self-directed learning.
