MPI Managers, staff and agencies contracted to assist with providing support to affected farmers and communities (such as the Rural Support Trusts) have been working in the Mycoplasma bovis (M.bovis) eradication programme with limited support since a response was initiated in July 2017. Throughout this time, managers and staff have not had access to clinical supervision services to assist them to manage, develop, evaluate and improve their work practices.
Staff working with farmers on the M.bovis programme regularly face difficult, complex and often challenging situations. Since the early 1970’s, professions working in similar circumstances recognised the need of practitioners to have access to supervision either at a collegial or senior level. This realisation resulted in the establishment of supervision, often referred to as “clinical supervision”, with practitioners engaging with appropriately trained, qualified and experienced persons who assist them to enhance their professional skills, knowledge, and attitudes in order to achieve and maintain competency to provide quality care. Supervision provides a safe, supportive opportunity for staff to reflect on their own feelings, behaviour and approach to their clients and then engage in critical reflection to raise and explore issues and discover new ways of handling both the situation and their response.
Supervision is required for a maximum of 80 managers and staff, approximately 35 MPI managers and staff members working within MPI’s M. bovis programme, plus potentially a number of staff from support agencies engaged by MPI to work directly with famers affected by M. bovis. Some of the contracted support agencies may already have arrangements in place whereby their staff in the field already have access to supervision. Therefore, the intent (outcome of this procurement) is to have a contract in place with a reputable supplier who is able to deliver nationally a regular service to a maximum of 80 managers and staff.
