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 information do you need to prepare a clear and concise presentation of a clinical finding requiring team discussion?
- What specific skills do you hope to develop in analysing complex cases and presenting them effectively to a multidisciplinary team? What is your current experience with case presentations, and how will this activity focus on CIED patient management?
- Have you selected a suitable case and reviewed all relevant clinical information (e.g., device data, ECGs, imaging)? What are the key discussion points you want to raise with the multidisciplinary team? How will you structure your presentation to ensure clarity and facilitate effective discussion?
In action
- Pay attention to how you are analysing the clinical finding and preparing your presentation. What information are you prioritising? Why are you structuring your presentation in a specific way? What key points are you aiming to convey to the multidisciplinary team? What potential management options are you considering? What aspects of the review and presentation process feel comfortable, and what areas require more careful preparation and articulation?
- How effectively are you synthesising the relevant clinical information and preparing a clear and concise presentation? What challenges are you facing in interpreting complex data or anticipating the perspectives of different team members? What insights are you gaining about the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in complex CIED cases? How does this activity connect to your broader understanding of CIED management and patient pathways?
- Are you anticipating potential questions or differing opinions from the team members? What further information might you need to effectively contribute to the multidisciplinary discussion? Are you ensuring your presentation is focused on the key issues requiring team input?
On action
- What did you notice? Summarise the clinical finding, the relevant patient history and device data, and the key points you presented to the multidisciplinary team. What different perspectives were brought to the discussion?
- What did you learn from the activity? Reflect on the process of preparing and presenting a case for multidisciplinary discussion. Did you gain insights into the roles and perspectives of other team members? Were there any challenges in articulating the key issues or facilitating the discussion? How does this activity contribute to your teamwork and communication skills?
- What will you take from the experience moving forward? Identify any areas where you need to improve your presentation skills or your ability to contribute effectively to multidisciplinary team meetings. How will you approach similar situations in the future? What strategies can you use to prepare and present information clearly and concisely?
Beyond action
- Have you revisited experiences of preparing and presenting such cases? How effectively did you present the information to facilitate decision-making? Review reflections from subsequent experiences involving presentation skills and multidisciplinary team working. Seek feedback from colleagues on your presentation style and content.
- How have these experiences impacted upon your current practice? Recognise the importance of effective communication within the multidisciplinary team. How has your ability to synthesise complex clinical information and present it clearly improved? How has this experience influenced your understanding of the roles and perspectives of different team members? How will this learning support you in other presentations?
- How might these experiences contribute towards your future practice? Identify transferable skills such as presentation skills, teamwork, and clear communication of clinical reasoning. How will you continue to develop your skills in presenting complex cases and facilitating multidisciplinary discussions? How might you contribute to improving communication pathways within the CRM team?
