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 />
