Clinical supervision: from rhetoric to accident and emergency practice.
Clinical supervision is firmly on the nursing agenda and, when implemented, will affect every practising nurse. However, current literature offers little in the way of advice on the practical application in a setting like the Accident and Emergency department (A & E). The aim of this article is to encourage A & E nurses to consider how clinical supervision can best be implemented into their current practice. A framework is presented to show how one A & E department has embraced the concept of clinical supervision and incorporated in into their A & E nursing practice. The evaluation, to date, has been positive and A & E nurses have reported that they enjoy the sessions and consider clinical supervision to be a useful learning experience.
