NU6622 Clinical Supervision: Supporting CPD (Semester 1)
This module on clinical supervision (CS) aims to provide the students with the required knowledge and practical skills to become effective supervisees/supervisors, and will thus enhance the implementation of CS frameworks in practice. Application deadline 30 June for Semester 1; 31 October for Semester 2.
By providing a framework that encourages review and reflection in practice, CS enhances the development of critical skills thinking, improves clinical standards, reduces clinician stress and burnout, strengthens professional identity and enhances the quality of patient/client care.

The module is comprised of four units:
Unit 1: Introduction to clinical supervision/peer group clinical supervision

Unit 3: Key principles of effective implementation and challenges of clinical supervision
Unit 4: Development and application of skills
