Abstract
Clinical supervision is a formal, planned process of supported reflective learning. It is particularly valuable in acute mental health environments, where staff nurses face significant, ongoing challenges and can benefit from support and a space to process emotions. Despite the value some nurses place on clinical supervision, protecting time to ensure it takes place can be difficult – often due to staffing levels and much clinical activity. This article outlines an innovative approach that ensures time for clinical supervision is protected using staff lunch breaks.
