|  Clinical supervision has been researched, promoted, and proven as a very effective strategy for constantly developing skills, for maintaining and raising standards, for encouraging personal and professional developement, and for building team ethos. This book explores clinical supervision and the qualities, skills, models and ethics needed to ensure success. Palliative care is arguably the most stressful area of nursing and care work, as well as being one of the most rewarding. It is work that requires a high level of practical skill, which can help the dying person to feel more comfortable and confident. But practical skills, valuable though they are, are not enough. Palliative care demands from its practitioners an equally high level of compassion and resilience. Offering this combination of practical comfort and deeply felt concerned support is hugely demanding. |
