“As practitioners we offer our patients guidance, support and encouragement – it seems a good idea to offer it to ourselves.”   Isobel Cosgrove

​

Supervision is significant in assisting and supporting acupuncturists in their work, professional relationships and personal lives.  It considers their needs and concerns in a confidential forum and suits newly qualified as well as experienced practitioners.
  
Practitioners may choose to look at clinical and diagnostic issues, building a practice or working with other health professionals.   The patient/practitioner relationship can be challenging; supervision helps to look at what and why we find some aspects of our work difficult.  By talking and reflecting, supervision can refresh, inspire, inform and satisfy our professional needs.
