From the Inside Flap
Melanie Jasper
Series Editor: Lynne Wigens
If you are a healthcare student just starting out in your training, or are returning to practice after a break, the Foundations in Nursing and Health Care series is for you!
In the only multiprofessional, introductory series for health professionals, each title is written in an interactive and accessible way from a shared learning perspective. This unique series can be used as a complete learning tool or each title can be used individually as a guide to a specialist area.
Beginning Reflective Practice begins by examining reflective practice as a concept and answering several questions. What is reflective practice? Why is it important to you? How can you use it as a strategy for your own learning and for developing your professional practice?
The ability to reflect on practice has become a competency demanded of every health-care professional in recent years. It can be a daunting prospect if you are a novice or are returning to practice after time away. To help you overcome any uncertainty, Melanie Jasper has written this book as an extremely accessible and practical explanation of why reflective practice is necessary and how and when you should do it. With a section devoted to identifying your own preferred style of learning, you will find this book provides the key to improving all aspects of your practice and study.
Key features:
Provides all the relevant underpinning theory without assuming prior knowledge
Case studies drawn from multiprofessional settings and reflective activities demonstrate scenarios and encourage you to question how you practise and learn
Regular Top Tips and Key Points provide convenient signposts to good practice and summarise concepts under discussion
Chapters commence with Learning Outcomes and conclude with Rapid Recap short answer questions (answers are provided in an Appendix)
Cartoons reinforce the theory and add to the attractive two-colour design.
Professor Melanie Jasper is Head of Department of Health and Social Welfare Studies, Canterbury Christ Church University College, UK.
Lynne Wigens is Assistant Director of Nursing, West Suffolk NHS Hospitals Trust, UK.
