"Reflection is increasingly used as a tool to improve nursing practice. As a registered nurse/midwife/nursing associate, part of the revalidation process (to remain on the NMC register) is to have evidence of five reflective discussions with another NMC registered nurse or midwife. Whilst we may be aware that reflection allows us to identify areas of learning and development for our own professional development (and in a non-critical manner), reflective practice may not come easily to us. This book is designed to give a solid foundation to increasing understanding of the skill of becoming a reflective practitioner. It will be written in a friendly, non-threatening manner, in an easy-to-read format using jargon-free content"-- Provided by publisher.
