Assessment: 800 word reflective writing piece
Based on the case study of Rosa Calapari (who you will have theoretically been following), you need to reflect on your experience of what you anticipateto be most challenging when working with her.
Reflective practice is seen as a means of improving clinical practice and consequently quality of care, through exploring and evaluating one’s understanding of a problem rather than simply trying to solve it (Leung, Pluye, Grad, & Weston, 2010).
Reflective practice is crucial in continuous development and re-assessment of skills when working in health care, or with people more generally.
A reflective practitioner:
• Reflects on feedback and integrates changes into practice.
• Reflects on how own perceptions, attitudes and beliefs impact on practice.
• Identifies knowledge deficits and seeks clarification.
• Ensures procedures for safety and quality assurance are implemented.
It is essential when writing a reflective piece that you refer to the experience in the first person, therefore the use of ‘I’ is appropriate for this style of writing. As a reflective practitioner, it is important to not only think about how others may affect your behaviour (i.e., colleagues and clients) but also how your behaviour affect others.

• Identifies knowledge deficits and seeks clarification.
• Ensures procedures for safety and quality assurance are implemented.
Your reflection should:
• Identifytwo health-related topics (choose from any of the PHE1IDH weekly topics) that you potentially feel may impact your interactions and/or behaviour when working with Rosa
• Use reflective writing to discuss why you anticipate the identified health-related topics as potentially being most challenging to you
• Reflect upon how you might modify your perceptions and/or behaviours, in order to minimise potential challenges so you may work most effectively with an older adult for future practice in a health or human services setting
