Supervision & Leadership, Theory, Process & Practice
About this subject
On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- Outline current clinical supervision and clinical leadership theories.
- Critically reflect on the literature about clinical supervision and clinical leadership when considering issues pertinent to own and others' clinical practice contexts.
- Critically reflect upon own learning and profession growth in clinical supervision and clinical leadership in practice.
- Module 1 - Leadership and supervision in healthcare
- Module 2 - People, power and culture in healthcare
- Module 3 - Toolkit for leadership and supervision
This subject provides a framework for effective leadership and supervision: supervision in context, direct supervision, constructive feedback, structure and content of meetings, dimensions of supervision, quality of the supervisory relationship and training for supervisors. On completion, participants should have a better understanding of leadership and helpful supervisory behaviours including: giving direct feedback on clinical work; linking theory, process and practice; encouraging joint problem-solving; offering feedback and reassurance; and providing role models. These will be contrasted with ineffective supervisory behaviours including: rigidity; low empathy; failure to offer support and to follow supervisees' concerns; not teaching; being indirect and intolerant; and emphasizing evaluation and negative aspects. Participants are expected to investigate the role of clinical supervision and the skills required by drawing on relevant empirical and theoretical work to offer practical and good supervision.
