Supervision register in practice

Phillip J. Vaughan, Project Manager

Forensic Project Team, The Wessex Consortium, Highcroft, Romsey Road, Winchester, Hampshire SO22 5DH

A sample of 19 consultant psychiatrists and 28 keyworkers were interviewed to determine their views on using the supervision register and to see whether it was affecting their practice. The majority felt that the supervision register was politically motivated and had little effect on direct clinical practice. However, there was a slight increase in indirect patient activities such as administration and meetings and some keyworkers were more vigorous in their outreach work. Most patients did not challenge their registration and the use of advocates in Care Programme Approach meetings may be needed. There was also a need for improved training and supervision for keyworkers.
