Clinical supervision has become increasingly valued by nurses since its introduction to the profession in the early 1990s, but its availability and implementation provide a somewhat patchy picture. This book, edited by practitoners in the field, looks at how clinical supervision has developed in nursing since 1990 and what issues are for the future, including: education and training in clinical supervision; the introduction of clinical supervision into policy and pratice; the practice of clinical supervision within the different nurse specialisms; current research activity; and international perspectives and experiences. "Clinical Supervision" is firmly grounded in clinical practice and all the contributors write from real, often hard-won, experience. It shows the potential of clinical supervision, as yet unrealized, to support staff, to help them become more individually accountable and, most of all, its potential to improve client care.
