Resilience-Based Clinical Supervision learning programme

The programme consists of 5 sessions over 13 hours:

• Session 1 - Exploring theoretical underpinnings of RBCS 
• Session 2 - Using the RBCS processes 
• Session 3 - Continued practice and planning for implementation 
• Session 4 - Continued practice and planning for implementation 
• Session 5 - Continued practice and planning for implementation  

This virtual programme involves individual participation and reflection. To get the most out of it, you will need:

• A quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and safe to participate and share learning
• Access to a laptop/computer/iPad which can access Microsoft Teams and which has a camera and a microphone. This is a participatory programme so you will need to turn on your camera and microphone. It is preferable that mobile phones are not used. This is because the small screen can hinder the quality of the experience.

To take part in this programme, your hospice will need to demonstrate that it has:

• An established education programme 
• Familiarity with existing supervision approaches in your region
• Willingness to partner (“buddy”) with other local hospices to share learning, provide support and cascade the RBCS model 
• Reaching all patient-facing staff with a focus on nurses and HCAs
• Consideration for people for whom English isn’t their first language.

As a participant in the programme, it is expected that you will:

• commit to attending the complete programme and to implementing RBCS within your service
• disseminate training through your hospice
• be supported by monthly ECHO network sessions to facilitate peer support, learning and development of best practice
• participate in a growing RBCS Community of Practice.

As this training is designed to support hospices to train their staff in RBCS, participants must have completed the RBCS Participatory Learning training, via the Foundation of Nursing studies (FoNS) or Hospice UK and be familiar with the model. More than one person can attend from each hospice. 

In order to access resources participants must be members of the Resilience Based Clinical Supervision Community of Practice.

The programme is only open to members of Hospice UK. 

This workshop will be delivered in two parts and will: 

• look at the ethos of the model 
• describe the purpose of each of the five training sessions 
• look at the resources you will be able to access 
• look at do’s and don’ts 
• look at ways you can make the training your own 
• listen to case studies from other facilitators 
• be able to ask questions and talk to colleagues 

The aims of this workshop are: 

• To build confidence in the model by providing the knowledge and skills you will need to train colleagues 
• To provide slide sets for you to adapt and use 
• To provide other resources such as video guides and suggestions from grounding and check-ins 
• To build connections with other hospices 

You will need to attend both sessions. 

Part one will focus on how the training is delivered. Content of the day will include:  

• An overview of the ethos of the model focussing on the cascade  
• Do’s and don’ts when delivering training 
• The aims and objectives of each of the five learning sessions together with the resources that are available to use  
• A case study from a hospice who are delivering the training 
• Opportunities to raise questions and  

Part two will focus on how the training can be adapted for your hospice. Content will include: 

• A review the learning from part one. With the opportunity to answer any outstanding queries.  
• Consideration of how the model can be adapted.  
• Provide helpful hints to help build confidence and create collaboration 
• Exploration of advanced challenges, such as managing acute distress, cliques or unhelpful group dynamics, difficulties getting senior support etc 

Both sessions will be interactive and provide opportunities for you to network with colleagues.
