Clinical supervision.

The NHS Plan (DoH 2000) states that the modern National Health Service (NHS) will be driven by a cycle of continuous quality improvement. This will enhance the efficiency, productivity and performance of the NHS. The aim of this article is to examine clinical supervision as a quality assurance initiative. To achieve this, clinical governance and lifelong learning will be evaluated within a theoretical framework with the focus on clinical supervision.

Exploring staff nurses' views on professional development.

AIM: The aim of this study is to explore senior staff nurses' experiences of continuing professional development. METHOD: A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was used with a purposive sample of five participants. RESULTS: Four key themes were identified: the experience is about being opportunistic; the experience is about keeping up to date with ongoing advances in nursing practice; the experience is about experiential learning and meeting the demands of the informant's current role. CONCLUSION: CPD enabled the nurses who took part in this study to keep up to date with nursing practice. It also illustrates that engaging with this system of skills enhancement helps to reduce work-related stress among nurses, thereby providing further opportunities to enhance confidence and competence as well as developing a workforce that is 'fit for practice' and 'fit for purpose'.
