Recommended: Importance of communication in supervision

Senior staff A had a had an approaching supervision and I had noticed recently that I had had to approach her on numerous occasions about not following service user b’s care plan correctly in supporting and encouraging their independence. I discussed this problem with my manager who also informed me she had spoken to her about similar occurrences. Before commencing the supervision I made notes of these occasions and also wrote recorded positive practice to relay back to her. I started the supervision off with positive feedback, saying how I impressed I am with how she carry’s out personal care in such a way that protects the individuals dignity and put them at ease, she seemed really pleased with these comments. I then expressed my concern …show more content…

I explained that risk of that happening was extremely low otherwise we would not allow it, also water temperatures were monitored, it was correctly risk assessed and service user b had the ability to regulate hot and cold water. She then went on to say that where she used to work that it would not have been allowed. I then asked her if she really thought I would put the service user at risk in any way. She said no of course not, if was just had for her to get used to allowing service users so much independence. I then went on to explain that as a senior she must realize that if staff see her not following care plans they could possibly do the same causing the loss of continuity of care, she stated she understood. I conceded that if she thought the water was going to be a concern then take the temperature quickly before the service user gets in, then leave the bathroom again. I then went on to explain that if she thinks a care plan isn’t working she must communicate it to management so we can implement changes or explain the reason why it is done in a certain way.

  • Reflective Essay On Clinical Supervision

    609 Words  | 2 Pages

    The trainee in this scenario shared less information about her professional as well as personal life. Which indicates that the supervision was not effective enough to deal with issues of supervisee. So it can be said that some part of this session went well, and some part didn't reach the objectives. With the support of Gibbs reflective model (Gibbs, 1988), I would like to focus on these points and try to comment on them. During the supervision session, first I tried making the trainee comfortable, then tried to enquire her problems. After that I focused more on the major issue, that was case history taking. I tried asking her by all possible ways about the mistake she is committing. Initially, I felt that maybe she is not ready to accept the fact and taking this question as a criticism. But then she stated that she is not aware of her mistake because nobody pointed it out before.

Self-awareness would allow the respondent to realise her limitation on “between the flags” policy and be willing to learn and improve her clinical knowledge. If she had done so, she would realise the importance of documentation and the urgent need to arrange medical review for Patient A, preventing her condition from further deteriorating instead of making assumption that urgent medical assistant was unnecessary as long as the continuous administration of antibiotics. Additionally, with a sound professional experience and knowledge, clinical reasoning skills are also essential in professional behaviour. If the respondent had used problem solving, critical thinking and intuitive thinking skills to recognise and respond on Patient A’s deteriorating condition, she would have applied clinical judgement and decision making skill to prioritise the patient’ need to be urgently medical reviewed by the ED doctor even though she may receive some verbal abuse.
