Reflective practice

Definition

From:

NICE Guideline NG227 - Advocacy services for adults with health and social care needs

National Institute for Health and Care Excellence

A process for staff to:
- reflect on previous practice
- talk about why they made the decisions they made, and why they acted or behaved in particular ways
- talk about their emotional responses to their actions and the actions of others
- engage in continuous learning.

Reflective practice may also provide insight into personal values and beliefs, and help staff understand how these influence action and decision making.
