ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines how a group of practitioners (lead professionals)

facilitated the widespread implementation and development of clinical

supervision within a NHS community trust. Drawing on the experiences of

health visitors, general nurses and community psychiatric nurses, the authors

describe the phases or stages of this implementation process. Furthermore,

they describe their particular roles involved in the implementation

and use case examples of the introduction of clinical supervision into each

practice discipline. The chapter concludes with reflections on the implementa-

tion process and identifies some of the barriers to introducing clinical supervi-

sion.
