This podcast is the fourth in a mini-series that focuses on supervision. I'm joined again by Karina Dancza and Anita Volkert, as co-editors of our recent book. We focus on how supervision can help us as individuals and how it can help each other as we continue to develop as health and care practitioners, including in the way we develop as supervisors and supervisees. We discuss how, if it’s done well, supervision can help to maintain interest and joy at work – a key ingredient to support retention of the workforce. We explore the benefits of different types of supervision including peer and group supervision and share some of our experiences where supervision has helped us to learn, develop and grow.

This podcast is part of a mini-series that focuses on supervision. I'm joined again by Karina Dancza and Anita Volkert, as co-editors of our book, Supervision for occupational therapy: practical guidance for supervisors and supervisees.  In this third podcast, we focus on the content of supervision and explore if the structures can stifle the quality and content of supervision. We debate how paperwork can sometimes encourage a tick-box culture and can even be weaponised as a tool of power which causes intentional or unintentional harm. How do we make sure the structures function as a tool to enable connections and effective supervision?  And how can we avoid them becoming the master?

In this second podcast as part of a mini-series that focuses on supervision, I'm joined by my fellow book editors and authors, Karina Dancza and Anita Volkert.  We debate if the concept of health and care practitioners as superheroes negatively impacts on the connections we make in our working relationships and our ability to be ourselves, including in supervision. We discuss how the narrative is so deeply embedded in some cultures that it might be useful to acknowledge it and learn how to work around it. We also discuss how understanding ourselves, including our own cultures, values, attitudes, assumptions, and beliefs, could help us choose when to remove the superhero cape, to enable culturally safe and effective practice.
