This book is essential reading for clinical educators who play a critical role in ensuring that only practitioners who are ‘fit to practice’―those possessing the requisite skills, knowledge, and motivation―are approved for entry to the professional register. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or new to supervisory roles, Supervision, Learning and Assessment in Clinical Practice equips you with the tools and knowledge to support students effectively and maintain high standards of practice in clinical education.
