SCENARIO<br />

A sole practising podiatrist is line managed by their local <strong>allied</strong><br />

<strong>health</strong> operational manager who is an occupational therapist. The<br />

nearest senior/experienced podiatrist is 200 km away. Whilst the<br />

operational manager provides day to day support, the podiatrist<br />

requires clinical supervision external to the service to facilitate<br />

their ongoing development and provide a <strong>for</strong>um <strong>for</strong> reflective<br />

discussion. The podiatrist discusses the need <strong>for</strong> external clinical<br />

supervision with the operational manager. Arrangements are made<br />

<strong>for</strong> telephone supervision to occur with another podiatrist who works<br />

in a metropolitan hospital. In addition, the podiatrist contacts other<br />

podiatrists in rural areas and sets up a rural peer support network<br />

which meets via teleconference once a month to discuss ongoing<br />

issues, complex cases and complete reflective practice.<br />
