Supervisee Online Training

This training is a great opportunity for supervisees to learn how to get the most out of their professional/clinical supervision. If you are new to supervision, or have never received any 'how-to' training in supervision, this training is for you! It introduces supervisees to key concepts in supervision, including structure, content, the supervisory relationship, goal setting and how to make supervision work for you.

Please note that this training is about professional/clinical supervision and NOT operational management.

This training will provide you with the basic skills necessary to make the most of the supervision you receive. By the end of the training you will be able to:

• describe what is meant by professional/clinical supervision
• outline the structure, content and process of supervision including the use of a supervision agreement
• set your own goals for supervision
• discuss the significance of the supervisory relationship
• identify your learning preferences/styles and their application in supervision
• be able to describe and use reflective practice techniques within the supervision context.

This training is interprofessional and is open to staff from allied health, nursing, medicine, dentistry and other health professions. This training is open to:

• Darling Downs Hospital and Health Service staff
• other Queensland Health staff
• external participants.

Please note: Although this training has been developed for health professionals from allied health, nursing, medicine and dentistry, some administrative staff have completed this training and have found it useful.

There are no admission requirements for this training.
