In response to needs identified by community nurses in remote and isolated areas in North Argyll, Scotland, a programme of clinical supervision was implemented. The term 'practice support' was chosen by the community nurses for this project. The purpose was to provide peer support to counteract geographical isolation and to facilitate professional development through the use of reflective practice. Practice support was carried out over a period of 9 months. Pre-implementation and post-implementation questionnaires were used to evaluate the project.
