The Directors

Dr’s White and Winstanley are PhD alumni of the University of Manchester (UoM), UK. In 1995, both were senior members of the landmark Clinical Supervision Evaluation Project, based in the Faculty of Medicine, UoM, funded by the Department of Health (DoH), London and the Scottish Home and Health Department, Edinburgh. To redress the paucity of an empirical evidence base, Dr Winstanley developed the original Manchester Clinical Supervision Scale©, the questions for which were derived from qualitative research findings earlier reported by Dr White. The MCSS was formally launched in London by the DoH in late 1999 and publicly reported as ‘the first validated tool designed specifically to measure the impact of Clinical Supervision’.
