Resilience - based Clinical Supervision - FoNS
from Care Agenda - May
by careengland
Resilience-based Clinical Supervision (RBCS) goes from strength to strength in the social care arena.
The Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS) has been commissioned to provide up to 1000 places on their well-researched and evaluated RBCS programme. To date 45 programmes have commenced with nearly 300 nurses completing the programme.
RBCS is a type of restorative supervision designed to promote compassion to yourself and therefore to others. It offers the opportunity to talk about the issues experienced in a supportive way that helps build positive relationships within teams.
RBCS focuses on the emotional regulatory systems, which means people are able to think about how they react and what triggers the responses they have to situations.
The RBCS programme offers insight in how to facilitate good supervision and be an active participant in the process.
RBCS supports individuals to reflect on their practice to enhance the relationships with colleagues and the people they care for.
As a social care nurse there is the opportunity to link with others from across England in small online cohorts and consider the roles undertaken within social care and share examples of practice.
FoNS is providing the 13 hour programme as a 5 session on-line programme to any registered nurse working in social care settings, it is a fully funded programme.
It is a participatory, active learning style of delivery.
Some recent participants described what they liked about the programme and comments included:
• Understanding the importance of taking time for yourself as a supervisor in order to be able to effectively support the supervisee.
• Formalising the structure of a supervision meeting differently to get the person/ people to reflect more effectively.
• To not use supervision to give advice and try resolve people’s problems!
• The power of a safe space and how to develop it, I have never felt so safe in a group.
We are there to listen, not necessarily to "fix".
