Resilience-Based Clinical Supervision learning programme
Our Resilience Based Clinical Supervision (RBCS) learning programme trains people working in hospices to deliver the RBCS model with their colleagues.
This means more people working and volunteering in hospices can access the supervision and support they need in their role.

What is RBCS?
RBCS is a model of supervision for anyone whose role is influenced by the emotional consequences of personal, relational, or organisational demands.
This video gives a short summary. It was produced by the Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), the University of Nottingham and the Burdett Trust for Nursing.
About the RBCS learning programme
In partnership with the Foundation of Nursing Studies (FoNS), we offer hospices a model of supervision with a dual focus:
- the emotional wellbeing of all staff
- creating a sustainable, compassionate service for patients and families.
The aim of the programme is to develop RBCS champions and facilitators across the hospice sector over an 18-month period.
Cascading knowledge
Once initial facilitators have been trained, they can cascade the RBCS model within your organisation. This enables and empowers teams to offer peer-led sessions as and when appropriate. The model should complement any existing wellbeing strategies at your hospice.
Ongoing peer support
All newly trained facilitators are invited to join our RBCS Community of Practice. This provides opportunities for peer to peer learning and reflective discussion. Sessions take place every 4-6 weeks.
Programme overview
This training will be delivered virtually by Hospice UK and our hospice partners in the RBCS model.
-
The programme consists of 5 sessions over 13 hours:
- Session 1 - Exploring theoretical underpinnings of RBCS
- Session 2 - Using the RBCS processes
- Session 3 - Continued practice and planning for implementation
- Session 4 - Continued practice and planning for implementation
- Session 5 - Continued practice and planning for implementation
-
This virtual programme involves individual participation and reflection. To get the most out of it, you will need:
- A quiet, private space where you feel comfortable and safe to participate and share learning
- Access to a laptop/computer/iPad which can access Microsoft Teams and which has a camera and a microphone. This is a participatory programme so you will need to turn on your camera and microphone. It is preferable that mobile phones are not used. This is because the small screen can hinder the quality of the experience.
