Supervision can be significant in assisting and supporting practitioners in their work and their personal and professional lives.
Supervision considers the needs of the practitioner in a confidential forum. This can either be in a small group or on a one-to-one basis. Meetings are usually monthly.

Issues that may arise in our practices include:

- building up a practice
- time management
- cancellations
- confidentiality
- ethics
- boundaries
- working in isolation
- burn out
- emotional response to 'difficult' patients
- relationships with other professionals and practitioners

Supervision work is usually practitioner-focused but it may also include some patient-focused discussion. By talking and sharing aspects of our work, supervision can refresh, inspire and satisfy our professional needs.

Qualified practitioners who would like further details should telephone Julia Davis on 020 8672 0455.

Julia has completed a one year Supervision for Acupuncturists course run by Isobel Cosgrove. Details of supervision groups are always available in the BacC Newsletter.
