Exploring Physiotherapists' Perspectives of Group Clinical Supervision Effectiveness for Aquatic Physiotherapy Skill Development: A Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

Participation in regular clinical supervision is recommended for health professionals to ensure quality of care. Effective clinical supervision of physiotherapists typically consists of a one-to-one model using a combination of reflective and direct approaches to supervision. However, this level of support can be difficult to provide in niche clinical specialities such as aquatic physiotherapy, where one expert clinician is tasked with the supervision of many less experienced clinicians. Group supervision is an alternative model which requires fewer resources, but its effectiveness is unknown. This study aimed to explore physiotherapists' perspectives on the effectiveness of a supervisor-led group supervision model in an aquatic physiotherapy service.
