Restoring Confidence, Sustaining Reflection (RCSR) is a restorative supervision refresher programme for Professional Nurse Advocates (PNAs) and experienced clinical supervisors, delivered through a half-day interactive workshop supported by a self-directed reflective workbook. It is designed to strengthen reflective practice, confidence and supervisory capability within psychologically safe, trauma-informed environments.
Programme aim
The programme aims to:
- review and reinforce the A-EQUIP model and its application in practice
- strengthen confidence in critical reflective practice, both individually and collectively
- embed restorative supervision within psychologically safe and trauma-informed learning spaces
- support PNAs to sustain their role in improving workforce wellbeing, resilience and compassionate care.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate PNA practice in the context of evolving workforce challenges and professional expectations.
- Reflect on and apply the principles of A-EQUIP and Restorative Clinical Supervision (RCS).
- Engage in safe, critical reflection on professional challenges and opportunities.

Core content areas
The programme is structured around five key areas:
- Reflecting on PNA practice - Exploring role expectations, challenges and impacts across individuals, teams and organisations.
- A-EQUIP and Restorative Clinical Supervision - Revisiting the model’s components (advocacy, education, quality improvement, understanding and professional leadership) and applying these in practice.
- Critical reflective practice - Developing deeper reflective capability, including boundaries, accountability and supervisory relationships.
- Compassionate and psychologically safe practice - Building confidence in facilitating restorative supervision through compassion, psychological safety and trauma-informed approaches.
- Reconnecting with professional values and future practice - Re-engaging with purpose, vision and ongoing development as a PNA.
These are supported by structured reflective activities, supervision models, frameworks and applied exercises to enable translation into practice.
