Reflection

Effective reflection is critical for all elements of the appraisal portfolio. This includes your CPD activities, significant events, compliments and complaints as well as colleague and patient feedback and quality improvement activities. Reflection however is a skill which needs to be developed and practised and many of us find it difficult. The Faculty has therefore published some Tips on Writing Effective Reflective Notes; this is based on guides already produced by the Faculty of Public Health, Royal College of Anaesthetists and Academy of Medical Royal Colleges.
