So whats the evidence? Reflection is an active process not the same as passive thinking. Makes it active Stops you rushing Evidence it promotes better reflection and better learning @NHS_HealthEdEng
Reflection What happened? How does this relate to you? What have you learnt? What will you do differently in the future? @NHS_HealthEdEng
