Part 2: Your Year 1 reflection (500 words)
You do not need a reflective model for Part 2, just write reflectively on your experience from placement. For this part you can write your reflective piece in the first person where you can use the pronouns I, me, we, and us, in order to reflect on your Year 1 experience from your perspective. Use academic language and relevant literature to support your discussion here.
a. Reflect on one situation from placement that made you realise the importance of team working in healthcare. Briefly describe what happened, discuss what was good and what was bad, and explore what you learnt and how you felt about it. Consider and evaluate the role of the nurse in the situation. Identify and evaluate the roles of other MDT members in the situation and comment on patient safety and quality care in the situation. (Learning Outcome 1) (Session 2, 8)
b. Reflect on your experience when a task was delegated to you during Year 1 placement or in your role as a Nursing Associate (for RNDAs). Discuss how this was undertaken, what worked and what did not, what could have been done differently, and summarise how you felt about being delegated a task and how this impacted on patient safety and quality of care.
