All nurses, midwives, assistant practitioners and support workers should have the appropriate knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSB) to participate effectively in clinical supervision. 

In this section of the learning site, you will find information and resources that will support you to develop your knowledge and skills around clinical supervision. Everyone’s clinical supervision learning journey is unique, and the resources provided are designed to be flexible and adaptable to your individual needs.

The Clinical Supervision Capability Framework supports the Scottish model and promotes quality assurance and governance in supervisor preparation. Alongside the self-assessment tool, it helps you identify your strengths and learning needs across the core skills and three components of clinical supervision: practice, professional, and restorative. 

We encourage you to complete the self-assessment, which will direct you to learning resources that support your specific development needs.
