GROUP SUPERVISION

Group supervision brings occupational therapists together to reflect, discuss practice challenges, learn from each other and build confidence in clinical reasoning.

Guided by an experienced facilitator, group supervision creates a structured space where OTs can explore practice questions, complex situations, decision-making, professional identity and the real-world pressures that sit around clinical work.

It can complement individual supervision by adding peer perspectives, shared learning and practical discussion across different practice contexts.

• Build confidence in clinical practice
• Explore complex or uncertain situations in a supportive setting
• Learn from peers working across different caseloads and settings
• Strengthen reflective practice and professional reasoning
• Reduce isolation and support professional sustainability
• Support ongoing CPD and reflective practice expectations

Group supervision is for occupational therapists at all different career stages, from new graduates seeking guidance and structure through to experienced OTs wanting space to reflect, refresh practice habits and connect with peers.

Group supervision sessions are currently offered online via Microsoft Teams. Future in-person options may be offered once a suitable Newcastle-based space is secured.

Group size is kept small to support meaningful discussion, peer learning and active participation.

Each session is built around a clear learning focus, real clinical scenarios and guided reflection. Some sessions may include guest speakers who bring additional perspectives or specialist insight.

The aim is to support thoughtful practice, professional confidence and sustainable clinical work without adding more noise to an already busy week.
