A critical review of reflective practice in its role towards personal and professional development
1University of Portsmouth, USA.
Abstract:
Reflection has become a prominent feature in today's nursing. Love it or hate it, the UK Central Council for Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors stipulates that evidence of reflective practice is a requirement for both pre and post registration nurses. While reflection can assist in facing the increasing challenges of nursing, it can also present as a challenge in itself unless nurses have familiarised themselves with the process and feel at ease with it. The issues of reflective practice are explored to determine if it can enhance personal and professional development.
