One-to-one supervision programme

During your ten "own cases" (when you take responsibility for treating ten patients of your own) you will work with two different supervisors progressing from one case to the next, developing your skills as you go.

All clinical work stems from the development of the "Reflective Practitioner", so whilst you are under supervision you are looking closely at your own process and development. The idea is that students become very self-aware so that they can clearly perceive the "centre of the case".

This is an intense and sustained process, mapping skills you have successfully demonstrated and working individually with supervisors and clinicians so that when everything required for graduation is completed you will receive a licence to practice

All NWCH supervisors are trained in person-centred supervision.

'Person-centred supervision' is based on the key theme of mutuality. Mutuality is promoted between clinical supervisor and student so that there is a shared responsibility for the learning process. Case supervisors provide information on key concepts and students identify their own learning goals. Hence the learning style is a combination of supervisor-facilitated learning and student-directed learning. However, for this process to occur, there needs to be an environment of empathy, respect and congruence.

The North West College of Homœopathy recognises that supervision training is a critical part of the student experience. We created the position of Supervision Co-ordinator in May 2003 to support this process - this is a pioneering development in homoeopathic education and has greatly enhanced the service we offer to students and supervisors alike.
