Supervision for nurse specialists
Article Abstract:
It has become increasingly common in the UK for nurses to work in considerable isolation from their peers. In some cases, this is because of changes in the skill mix that have led to a higher proportion of unqualified staff working with a smaller number of qualified staff. In other cases, it is the result of a growth in the number of clinical nurse specialist posts. Against this background, clinical supervision can play a very valuable role. Nurses working in isolation can gain considerable support from developing a clinical supervision relationship with one or several clinical supervisors.

Using structured reflection to improve nursing practice
Article Abstract:
Structured reflection can be very valuable in allowing nurses at all levels to look closely at a wide range of issues, including the nurse-patient relationship, supervision and partnership in care and advocacy. Reflection on difficult issues allows nurses to acknowledge their feelings and investigate alternatives. Guided reflection also assists nurses in developing an insight into their restricted ability to make a long-term difference to aspects of patients' lives.
