Course Overview
Unlock the transformative power of reflective practice in this dynamic workshop designed to deepen self-awareness, sharpen critical thinking, and fuel continuous professional growth.
Rooted in the pioneering work of Donald Schön, Gillie Bolton, and David Kolb, this highly interactive session blends evidence-based theory with practical application, helping you build the skills to analyze your actions, refine your decision-making, and enhance your effectiveness in real-world settings.
Reflective practice is not just a technique — it’s a professional mindset that empowers you to bring theory and experience together, creating lasting impact for yourself, your teams, and the people you serve.
Importantly, reflective practice is increasingly recognized by international health authorities as a core component of professional excellence.
The World Health Organization (WHO) promotes reflective approaches as part of interprofessional education and collaborative practice to improve global health outcomes. Similarly, the Clinical Excellence Commission in Australia highlights reflective practice as essential for enhancing patient safety and supporting healthcare professionals in high-pressure environments. In the UK, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) recommends regular reflective activities to maintain and elevate standards of health and social care delivery.
