What you will learn

This module consists of an initial intensive four week formative learning block on the theory and concepts of clinical supervision. That will equip you to undertake the practice elements. On this Module you will learn:
• Undertaking self-reflection of the skills and knowledge required for the role of the clinical supervisor and identifying ways in which to develop

How you will learn

To achieve the practice-based elements, you must be willing to take on the role of a clinical supervisor and to recruit a willing participant. You will need to undertake the minimum of two supervision sessions with your volunteer supervisee. This is essential, for you will be required to reflect on the experience that you have gained within your role as a clinical supervisor, and to consider how you plan to develop your knowledge and skills that will aid you in future clinical supervision sessions within one to one sessions and group clinical supervision sessions. You are expected to keep a reflexive clinical supervisor diary.

How you will be assessed

You will be required to write a reflective essay on the theory and practice of clinical supervision.

To be eligible to study this module, you must demonstrate the ability to study at this level and commit to attempting the assessment. You must also be working in an environment that will allow you to use a clinical supervision contract, and clinical supervision model taught in this module.
