Themes for Reflection
Reflection is a key professional skill and assists you to make meaning from your experiences so as to inform, improve or change your professional practice. We draw meaning from our experiences when we identify something significant about them for our learning, our values, and our perspectives, and these experiences usually take the form of a challenge to our prior understandings or "accepted ways of doing or knowing".

• Autonomy and independence (professional judgement, decision making, problem solving, responsibility)
• Empathy and collaboration (working with others, inclusion, reliability,facilitation, support)
• Critical evaluation (accepting feedback, assimilating advice into practice, flexibility, criticalawarenessof own performance)
