Irvine, H. J. (1998). Professional supervision for nurses and midwives.
Abstract: Report to the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust on Professional Supervision for registered Nurses and Midwives, May 1998.
Objective of Project:
To explore the extent of the development of a model of clinical supervision for nurses in the United Kingdom.
Some of the key points that emerged:
- Clinical supervision is a strong and accepted part of nursing culture in Britain. While not mandatory and not available to, or accepted by, all nurses, it is nevertheless generally known about and discussed at main nursing forums
- The strong support and directives coming from nursing leadership is a major factor in the adoption of clinical supervision as a developmental, support and quality control
- The increasing availability of resource material, courses, and in particular the investment made by the Department of Health and the Scottish Home and Health Office in funding a 23 site evaluation project has stimulated implementation of clinical supervision

Lakeman, R. M. (1998). Psychiatric – mental health nurses on the internet. Computers in Nursing, 16(2), 87–89.
Abstract: This research began in 1995 with an e-mail survey of psychiatric / mental health (PMH) nurses who belonged to an e-mail discussion group. The original aims were to describe how PMH used and learned to use the internet, the benefits to their work, and how they saw the internet affecting their work in future. Data were analysed using content analysis techniques and findings published in a number of forums. In 1999 another survey using the same e-mail list was undertaken to explore how things had changed in terms of internet use and peoples visions of how the internet is likely to impact on nursing in the future. These data are the subject of continuing analysis
