Using supervision to improve the wellbeing of administrative staff in a busy Neuropsychology department: A pilot service initiative

Abstract

The following article describes a feasibility study to assess whether supervision sessions could be implemented for administrative staff who work within an outpatient neuropsychology service. It considers the evidence base relating to the psychological wellbeing of administrative staff and outlines the process undertaken, reflections on staff experiences, and practical considerations for other services looking to improve administrative staff wellbeing. Overall, the implementation of supervision sessions was a success leading to recommendations for practice in both the department and the wider profession.
