Aim of this assessment
Learning takes place through critical reflection by experience and exploration of theoretical knowledge. The assessment aims to enhance students’ knowledge and understanding of the benefits of reflecting on clinical practices and experiences to assist with the learning process.
The insights gained through reflective practices promote student self-awareness and enable them to become critically thoughtful about their own readiness for the intensely personal nature of providing care
Details
Students will select ONE case scenario only to reflect on. The three case scenarios are found in the assessment tab on vUWS. The case scenarios include:
-    MEDICAL EMERGENCY CALL (MET)
-    STAFF CONFLICT
-    MEDICATION ERROR
Students will participate in the simulated scenarios in your CPU session (weeks 3, 5 & 7) to gain practical experience on all three scenarios.

Use the GIBBS Reflective Cycle (Gibbs, 1988) to complete the components below. It is a good idea to set the reflection paper out with the bold headings as your paragraph heading.
1.    Description: Describe the case scenario that you have selected to reflect on, concentrating on main details of who was involved, what incident occurred, and why the incident occurred.
2.    Feelings: Describe what you were thinking and feeling initially when you were confronted with this incident. Explain why you might have felt this way.

3.    Evaluate: Make a judgement based on the positive and negative aspects of the scenario.
4.    Analysis: Draw on academic sources to show why the incident occurred.

5.    Conclusion: Describe the lessons you have learnt from this experience.
6.    Action Plan: Describe what you have learnt from this experience and how it will help you improve practices in future scenarios.

Note:

•    You must include a minimum of four references to support your reflective practices.
•    The reflection paper must be loaded through
