title: Reducing burnout and stress: the effectiveness of clinical supervision.
abstract: Health visitors and school nurses have been identified as a particularly vulnerable group to stress given the complex, frontline clinical work that they are involved in. Recent high-profile reviews of safeguarding practices have brought an increased pressure on the profession. This paper provides evidence of the effectiveness of a model of clinical supervision that reduced burnout and stress for health visitor and school nurse Leaders. Commissioned by NHS West Midlands, the project delivered supervision to health visitors and school nurses with a safeguarding leadership responsibility within their organisation.
