NHS Education for Scotland

This statement offers principles and guidance to support the provision of supervision for all Allied Health Professions (AHPs) and AHP Health Care Support Workers (HCSWs) working across health and social care in Scotland. Effective supervision can contribute to the continued development of healthy organisational cultures, ensure sustainable AHP practice, the embedding of emerging AHP roles and support staff engagement and morale. Ultimately this has a positive impact on the people who use services, including adults at risk of harm.
