Clinical Supervision in Rural and Remote settings
A series of interviews were conducted with allied health professionals in rural and remote settings about the challenges they face and the strategies they use in clinical supervision.
Clinical Supervision
The importance of clinical supervision is core and common to the 23 allied health professions within NSW Health. Clinical supervisors are a vital frontline resource and play a critical role in developing confident and capable allied health clinicians, promoting excellence in clinical practice, and ensuring patient safety and quality of care.

The Superguide is a user friendly handbook designed to assist allied health professionals who are responsible for supervising other staff. It gives tips and suggestions based on published evidence of what makes good supervision and the knowledge of many experienced allied health supervisors in NSW.
