Description

Critical reflection and reflective practice are at the heart of modern healthcare. But what do these terms really mean?

Building on its highly respected predecessors, the third edition of a bestselling text analyses and explores the importance of reflection in professional practice with academic depth and clarity. Taking an interdisciplinary approach that offers hands-on advice and support, it presents a structured method that will enable you to both challenge and develop your own practice.

New to this Edition:

- Expanded to meet the needs of all healthcare and social care professions
- Fully updated in line with global developments in contemporary understandings of reflective practice over the last decade
- A new chapter on reflective and reflexive practice
- New chapter exercises and 'key takeaway' features to reinforce and scaffold learning

This book is an essential guide to critical reflection for all students, academics and practitioners.
