Implementing clinical supervision (part 3): an evaluation of a clinical supervisor's recovery-based resource and support package

This is the third of a series of articles exploring the implementation of clinical supervision. This study explored the effect of a support and educative package to clinical supervision in assisting the embedding of evidence-based practice and recovery values into their supervision sessions and also the impact on clinical supervision uptake. The study was based on an action research approach and had a mixed methodology that included questionnaire, focus groups and audit. The evaluation of findings showed that 94% of clinical supervisors felt that the package had a positive impact on their practice. However, uptake of clinical supervision remained unchanged over the evaluation period.
