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.
