Clinical Supervision
Clinical Supervision is imperative for Nurses working in Schools. In a role which is largely isolated from other medical colleagues, it provides a much needed source of advice, reassurance, safety in clinical practice and support.
We contract Clinical Supervisors who have extensive experience in SBHS and understand the demands, challenges and context of working as a health professional in an education setting. We recommend supervision for School Nurses at a minimum of 90 mins per month, additional sessions or increased frequency can be arranged. A formal contract is provided which is signed by both the supervisor and supervisee and invoices are generated after the session and directed to the School Bursar.
To access Clinical Supervision with one of our supervisors, please email us, or log into our members section and read our supervisors bios and contact them directly.
To contract with us as a Clinical Supervisor, please email us and tell us about your experience in School Based Health Services and Clinical Supervision.

Clinical Incident Support/Debriefing
From time to time, emergencies and critical events do happen in schools, and some can be very challenging in unexpected ways. Specifically for School Nurses, they can often be involved in life threatening or life saving events which can be traumatic. Our team have had their share of critical events such as resus, student death, school lockdowns due to threats onsite etc. If you feel your School Nurse could benefit from talking with someone who can offer a supportive, experienced, respectful and confidential ear and help them move forward, please email us and we will respond sensitively to support your nurse.
NB. We recommend that schools pre-plan using the Ministry of Educations TIRP (Traumatic Incident Response Plan) protocol and familiarise all new school staff with their school TIRP including their School Based Health Team.
