Harding, Deborah (2020) Workplace supervision for Advanced Clinical Practice : an integrated multi-professional approach for practitioner development. (Project Report) Health Education England. 41 p.

Abstract

Currently, supervision has a profession-specific focus and varies greatly within and across professions. Existing workplace supervision practices may not map neatly to the learning needs of developing multi-professional advanced clinical practitioners/trainees. Nor can it be assumed that uni-professional colleagues have an understanding of the professional scope or typical clinical practice profile of developing advanced clinical practitioner/ trainees from different qualifying professions. This publication draws on these fundamentals to describe what is required to: establish the requirements of multi-professional advanced practitioner supervision establish the training and development of supervisors improve consistency and limit supervision practice variation across the health and care sector through a combination of a Coordinating Education Supervisor and Associate Supervisors matched to specialty knowledge and skills development. ensure supervision with a focus on professional and public safety in advanced clinical practice. This publication has been developed collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders from across the field of advanced clinical practice; from primary care to mental health and children’s services to emergency medicine. With advanced clinical practice continuing to develop in rapid and diverse ways, it is anticipated that this is a first iteration of such guidance.
