The Process of Reflection The process of reflection is central to clinical supervision. Launer (2003) describes external and internal factors in supervision whereby clinical practice and sharing skills are external and reflection is an ‘internal conversation.’ Brunero & Stein-Parbury (2008) discussed the effects of clinical supervision in nursing staff and argued that self-reflection generates a sense of self-awareness and knowledge to the individual. Supervisees or students may be asked what happened during a clinical event, how they felt, the implications of their actions and what they would do differently if faced with the same situation. This provides the supervisee with ‘time-out’ to examine the interactions between their practice, personality …show more content…
Group supervision has a ‘dual role’ of people gathering on knowledge and experiences where team dynamics are influenced (Berg and Hallberg, 2000). Peer supervision, generally more appropriate for experienced practioners (Spence et al, 2001), can be one-to-one or in a group arrangement. Lakeman & Glasgow (2009, p206) discuss peer supervision where professionals are capable of having the resources to help one other and to make sense of practice. It has been suggested that paired and group placements provide an opportunity for enhanced learning, clinical competence and participant satisfaction (Berg and Hallberg, 2000). The author found that the majority of physiotherapists were involved in unidisciplinary supervision. This one-to-one supervision appeared as an opportunity for less experienced physiotherapist to learn from ‘experts’ in the field, again highlighting that clinical supervision is a reflective process. The respondents were able to identify the value of clinical supervision as a means of gaining support and developing both personally and …show more content…
The authors argued that clinical supervision in healthcare professions enhanced personal development through eliciting a sense of self-confidence, enthusiasm, self-awareness and feeling supported in the workplace. The author explains that it reduces emotional baggage and the risk of burnout, increases job satisfaction and staff morale and finally, increases knowledge and awareness about solutions to possible clinical problem. Without these elements of progression, there would be minimum professional development. The evidence above however, is not specifically related to physiotherapists; therefore further research is needed to conclude these
A C1.2 Nurses work alongside other multi-disciplinary professionals such as occupational therapists, social workers, psychologists and doctors (O’Carroll and Park 2007). All healthcare professional are regulated by their individual professional bodies and are equipped to work with mental health patients. In reality, there should be no difference in the roles of each staff as the roles of healthcare professional are governed by rules and regulations (NMC, 2015). A MHN and a social worker are different in several ways, particularly if the Social worker is a direct service social worker as against the clinical.
This essay is going to reflect on my own management and leadership style in delivering patient care. It will discuss the effectiveness of the other leadership and management style within the multi-disciplinary team and its impact on delivering patient care. I will use as an example, my previous experience back home as a nurse and compare it to my current experience in the United Kingdom (UK). This will show my strength and weakness as well as my new learning skills, which have changed my practice. I will be using Driscoll model of reflection (2007) to guide my thought and refine my ideas.
For this assessment, I will be reflecting on what clinical governance looks like in my workplace, with a critique of the framework used within the organization. During the reflection I will discuss what pillars and principles were found, while describing my fellow team members’ understanding of clinical governance and how it is reflected in their practice. Finding the clinical governance framework for my workplace was challenging and time consuming without computer access in place of hard copy policy and procedure manuals. I found clinical governance summerised through the manuals, ensuring compliance of the 44 accreditation standards (Australian Aged Care Quality Agency, 2014) but as Knight, Kenny and Endacott (2015) discuss, while the concept is accepted, there is a gap between theory and practice, which is visual where I work. Pillars and principles such as risk management, efficiency, effectiveness, patient centric and equity are seen throughout the policies, and to analyse more specifically, clinical governance is articulated under categories, consisting of “education and training, clinical audit, clinical effectiveness, research and development and role clarity” (Davies, Chapman & Boyd, 2015 p.45).
This is thought to be true because the individual is learning more effective and healthier ways to perform their duties. For example, if an individual is receiving care for low back pain caused by lifting heavy objects, it is the responsibility of the therapist to develop a plan of care that targets this action. A physical therapist should instruct the individual in proper lifting techniques and possible strengthening and stretching exercises to decrease the current pain and prevent future injuries from
As a result, from developing a framework that entails logical methods for training will consist of both academic and personal training in order to deliver effective evaluations. Preventing potential malpractice suits in the supervisor role will require me to also document my supervisory-trainee relationship through a contract. This contract will entail my background, methods and responsibilities in the training process along with the limits of confidentiality, and due process. Educators and program supervisors have the responsibility to warn students about the course of action that is open to them when they encounter supervisors who are impaired and give poor supervision. I believe that inadequate supervision compromises to the inability to provide proper practice to clients and by clarifying my role of a supervisor, I will be able to evaluate the trainees conceptual understanding of the therapeutic process ethically and with avoidance of malpractice
Though not a new concept in the clinical setting (Myrick & Yonge, 2005), preceptorship is still considered a key strategy in educating novice nurses in the clinical area. The preceptorship concept first came to health care providers’ consciousness in the United States in the 1960’s and a decade after, has evolved into an important tool in clinical nursing education (Myrick & Yonge, 2005). In the United Kingdom, preceptorship programs became a part of post-registration education during the 1980’s (Wood, 2007). Countries like Canada and Australia also utilize preceptorship as a tool in helping novice nurses attain professional growth.
I read A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest L. Gained during my eleventh grade year. Jefferson was a young black man, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to death. I first found the book a little boring. Once I was assigned to read chapter after chapter for homework I found it a little more interesting but then again the book itself lost my attention I really didn't care for Grant and Vivian’s relationship all I wanted to know was, what was going on with Jefferson and what was going to happen to him; was he going to die?
As indicated by Gawande (2011), the current customary instructing varies from one call to the next. He calls attention to that instructing and training is unique and unmistakable. In his doctorate calling in the field of prescription, Gawande brings up that simply like whatever is left of specialists, once they have achieved their most elevated amount of commonsense evaluation, they work freely and without supervision. He, notwithstanding, appreciates the pattern in the brandishing field where he recognizes that as a sportsman advances in their field, they require all the more training and more direction. The same is depicted with performers, they attempt to have somebody to remain close by to watch them and give them a moment ear.
Upon reflecting on this experience, I feel like I am more confident in handling the situation should it arise again. Reflecting on it has made me realise that not everything I did was wrong and has helped me to explore what I need to improve on. Reflection is important in the nursing profession as it allows us to think about our actions and talk about how we could have carried them out differently (Johns and Burnie, 2013). Reflection plays a big role in developing the student into a nurse (Barbour,
Working full time for the past two years, I have had experience being both a physical therapist aide/technician and even an assistant. I have completed observation hours at Gentilly Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation, where I was a technician to a couple physical therapy assistants and physical therapists. At Gentilly rehabilitation center, I understood the nature of the work by assisting patients through weight training, teaching them the proper way to move around and assisted with recording the progress of each treatment. While observing patients under a physical therapist's supervision, I also had the responsibility of supervising lower level technicians during my support duties. Then the following year I observed at PhysioFit; I had a chance to
This reflection clearly describes the event and explains it in a manner that is easy to follow. It identifies the multiple parties involved in the consultation and gives a sufficient description in their roles. The reflection is clear and concise; the author identifies the different behaviours and attitudes displayed by Miss X, Dr Y and Mr H. The reflection offers reasonable explanations for the way that each member behaves and reacts to the consultation. The author was able to identify the relevant ethical and professional issues raised by this case as well as explaining why they were relevant to the case. The discussion and analysis of the events was clear, concise and coherent.
It also guarantees that procedural, practice standards, legislative and policy are encountered and employees are well developed, monitored and supported mainly in service delivery role. Supervision offers a platform to staff in order to reflect on the process, progress and content of their work (Kadushin & Harkness, 2014). 1.2 Describe And Compare Models And Theories Of Professional Supervision The theories and practices of supervision started developing as soon as counsellors were able to train other social workers as well. Various diverse theoretical models are developed for supporting and clarifying counselling supervision.
During fieldwork placement all the students are assigned supervisors that are to help the student reach their learning outcomes and adapt to the service provision in the agency. I was attached at the Sekgoma Memorial Hospital in Serowe during my third year placement. In this paper I will reflect on the supervision I was given in Sekgoma. In defining supervision Wonnacott (2012) supervision is a process in which one is given the role or delegated to work with other members of the organization in order to meet certain needs or objectives that are organization based, personal and even some professional in order to achieve better outcomes in service delivery.
Studies show that there are really two kinds of supervision. Both are often practical. One puts a supervisor in a role of a counsellor or mentor which enables a supervisor provide helpful feedback, develop a good relationship with workers and working with them respectively to enhance their understanding of their job and such kind of supervision is crucial and important in care settings such as care homes where the aged who are vulnerable are assisted and their needs are met. Such kind of supervision is important for non-direct workers since it boost staff morale and also encourages staff to work co-operatively in order to achieve aims and goals. The other kind of supervision puts a supervisor in a role of an administrator ensuring those in
Introduction Throughout embedded formative assessment, William addresses the need in schools today for changes and alternative thinking, such as and. According to William, formative assessment is. In other words, . Furthermore, something that seems to be of high priority when discussing alternative thinking is the involvement of the students to a higher degree. Apparently, studies have shown that even though the reason for it might not yet have been entirely concluded, there appears to be a correlation between a higher degree of involvement from the students and their learning levels (p.).
