Abstract
A well recognized model of clinical supervision in occupational health nursing practice is hard to identify within the specialty, indeed, the question of whether one exists at all could well be asked. The nurse often works alone in an occupational health setting, and professional isolation presents its own problems—none more so than in the updating of skills and knowledge to maintain clinical credibility. The responsibility for this falls upon the individual who may not recognize the need.
