Abstract: Clinical supervision supports patient care and health worker wellbeing. However, access to effective clinical supervision is not equitable. We aimed to explore the access and effectiveness of clinical supervision in allied health workers. A cross-sectional survey design using the Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale (MCSS-26), including open-ended survey responses, to collect data on effectiveness. Multivariable regression was conducted to determine how MCSS-26 scores differed across discipline, work location and setting. Open-ended responses were analysed using content analysis. 1113 workers completed the survey, with 319 (28%) reporting they did not receive supervision; this group were more likely to hold management positions, work in a medical imaging discipline and practice in a regional or rural location. For those who received supervision, MCSS-26 scores significantly differed between disciplines and work settings; psychologists and those practising in private practice settings (i.e. fee-for-service) reported the highest levels of effectiveness. Suggested strategies to enhance effectiveness included the use of alternate supervision models, dedicated time for supervision, and training. Targeted subgroups for improving access include senior staff, medical imaging professionals, and those working across regional and rural settings. Where supervision was least effective, strategies to address behaviours with organisational support may be required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
