Abstract: The evolving healthcare landscape demands an expansion of roles and responsibilities for non-medical healthcare professionals, including pharmacy technicians. Effective supervision plays a crucial role in supporting the development of advanced pharmacy technician practitioners and facilitating their integration into multidisciplinary healthcare teams. This narrative review explores the contribution of supervision, particularly clinical supervision and educational supervision, to the development of advanced pharmacy technician practitioners. Clinical supervision focuses on overseeing day-to-day clinical performance, providing regular feedback, and supporting the application of knowledge and skills into practice. It involves guided learning, navigating practice environments, and fostering proficiency and confidence in clinical practice. Educational supervision complements clinical supervision by supporting learners in identifying their learning needs, navigating the learning pathway, and addressing academic challenges. The review highlights the complementary roles of these supervision forms in facilitating learning, application of knowledge and skills into practice, and professional development. Effective supervision models should incorporate elements of workplace-based learning, tailored feedback, interdisciplinary collaboration, and continuous professional development. By understanding the mechanisms that contribute to effective supervision, healthcare organizations can optimize the training and development of advanced pharmacy technician practitioners, ultimately enhancing patient care and addressing workforce challenges in the evolving healthcare landscape.
