Flags for seeking help: making supervisor expectations of general practice trainee help-seeking explicit

Models of clinical supervision of relevance to remote area nursing & primary health care: A scoping review

“…A total of 11 articles met the inclusion criteria which described a specific clinical supervision model 48–58 …”

“…Within the 11 articles, six focused on general practitioners, four focused on practice nurses, and there was one article that focused on nurse practitioners 48–58 . All articles had a model that utilised a peer of the same profession for supervisor and supervisee; however, one of the models made use of general practitioners for clinical supervision of practice nurses.…”
