Supervision
Facilitated by Henny Pearmain, this course
will help you make the most of your
supervision – whether supervisee or
supervisor. HCPC’s Standards of
Proficiency (HCPC 2013) state that
occupational therapists should ‘be able to
reflect on and review practice’ and that
they should recognise the value of
supervision in achieving this. Attendance

your use of supervision, to everyone's
benefit. Venue: RCOT, London. Cost:
