The Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS) has provided Resilience-Based Clinical Supervision (RBCS) programmes specifically for social care nurses since January 2024.

 

RBCS is a form of restorative supervision and is proving to add value to the wellbeing of nurses working within Social Care settings but also provides CPD and can help culture change within teams.

 

New skills gained by participants are confidence, communication skills and the ability to actively listen. Instead of always trying to fix others, helps people find their own solutions to difficulties experienced.

 

It also provides an effective structure for kind, reflective supervision.

 

When asked if participants would recommend this programme there was a unanimous yes, with reasons given such as that they saw confidence improving, a change in the way people think about supervision and finding better ways to interact with people they work with.

 

Resilience-based Clinical Supervision is a 13-hour programme over 5 sessions. It is online, interactive and participative and free to nurses working in adult social care.

 

Come and listen to more about the process of this type of restorative supervision and the key learning from the recent evaluation of the programme within Social Care nursing.
