Professional Nurse Advocates (PNAs) are vital to support nurses in a continuous improvement process to build on personal and professional clinical leadership using Restorative Clinical Supervision (RCS).
PNAs provide nursing colleagues with a safe thinking space and listen to clinical, personal or professional issues.
They have a positive impact on the physical and emotional wellbeing of nurses, reducing burnout and stress, whilst increasing job satisfaction.
