Reflective practice guidance
The guidance below is provided to support reflection at different time points, providing you with questions to aid you to reflect for this training activity. They are provided for guidance and should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to provide answers to each of the guidance questions listed.
Before action
- What do you understand about the purpose and process of multi-source feedback?
- What areas of your practice are you particularly interested in receiving feedback on?
- What do you hope to learn about your strengths and areas for development from this feedback?
- How will you approach the feedback process to ensure you gain the most valuable insights?
In action
- As you receive and process the feedback, are you paying attention to patterns or recurring themes in the comments?
- Are you actively considering how this feedback aligns with your own self-perception and areas you had already identified for development?
- As you start to formulate your action plan, are you identifying specific, achievable steps and timelines for addressing the feedback?
On action
- What were the key themes and messages in the feedback you received from different sources? Were there any areas of feedback that particularly resonated with you or surprised you? What were your initial emotional responses to the feedback?
- What does the feedback tell you about your strengths and areas for development as perceived by others? How well does this feedback align with your own self-assessment of your skills? How effective were you at identifying specific actions for your personal and professional development based on the feedback?
- How will you implement the action plan you developed? How will you seek opportunities to develop in the areas identified in the feedback? How will you seek further feedback on your progress in these areas?
Beyond action
- Have you revisited your midpoint multi-source feedback and action plan? How has your development progressed in the areas you identified?
- How has engaging with feedback from multiple sources influenced your self-awareness and your approach to professional development?
- Looking ahead, how will you continue to seek and utilise feedback to support your ongoing professional growth as a qualified Healthcare Scientist?
