- Patient centred care and support
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
- How does presenting case studies on a range of radionuclide therapies contribute to your ability to prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals and communicate effectively with patients?
- What broad guidance might be relevant here?
- What are the specific goals of presenting these case studies?
- Are you aiming to consolidate your understanding, practice communication skills, or demonstrate your knowledge to your training officer?
- Consider the specific insights you hope to gain from preparing and delivering these case study presentations.
- What aspects of different radionuclide therapies do you want to understand better?
- Think about what you already know about the range of radionuclide therapies you might present. Where are the gaps in your knowledge that you hope this activity will address?
- What specific communication skills related to explaining complex treatments do you hope to develop or refine through this presentation?
- Discuss the specifics of this training activity with your training officer.
- What range of therapies should you focus on?
- What format is expected for the presentation?
- Consider possible challenges you might face, such as explaining complex information clearly or answering difficult questions.
- How might you prepare for these challenges?
- Identify how you feel about presenting. Are you confident or nervous? How can you manage any anxiety to ensure an effective presentation?
In action
- Pay attention to how you are structuring your presentation of the case study.
- Why are you choosing to present the information in this particular order?
- What decisions are you making regarding the level of detail to include for different aspects of the case as you are presenting?
- What aspects of explaining the case feel intuitive based on your current understanding, and what requires more conscious effort to articulate clearly?
- How effective do you feel you are in conveying the key learning points of the case study to your audience in real-time?
- What challenges are you encountering during the presentation, such as answering unexpected questions or managing the time allocated?
- What can you learn about your presentation style and subject knowledge as you are delivering the case study?
- How does this case study relate to your existing knowledge of radionuclide therapies?
- Are there alternative ways you could explain certain aspects of the case if your initial explanation is not clear?
- What support or clarification might you need from your audience or supervisor during the presentation?
- Are you ensuring that the information you are presenting is within your current level of understanding and training?
On action
- What were the key aspects of the case study presentation that stood out to you?
- How did the audience respond to different parts of your presentation?
- Were there any particular questions or points of discussion?
- What aspects of your delivery seemed to flow well, and what felt more challenging?
- What new insights did you gain about the specific radionuclide therapies discussed in the case study?
- What skills related to presenting information did you develop or improve?
- Were there any unexpected challenges or successes during the presentation?
- What did you learn from these regarding preparation or delivery?
- How did your reflect-in-action (during the presentation) influence how the presentation unfolded and your responses to questions?
- How does the experience of presenting this case study relate to the requirements for communicating about radionuclide therapies in post-programme practice?
- What areas for continued development in your presentation skills or understanding of radionuclide therapies have you identified?
- How can you apply the learning from this presentation experience to future presentations or discussions with colleagues or patients?
- What specific actions or ‘next steps’ will you take to consolidate your learning from this training activity?
- What support or resources might you need to further develop your presentation skills or knowledge in this area?
Beyond action
- Have you reviewed your initial reflections on delivering the case study presentation?
- Consider how the experience of presenting these case studies compares with any subsequent presentations you have given.
- What observable behaviours and practices have you now assimilated into your presentation style?
- Have you discussed this presentation experience with peers or colleagues? Has their perspective changed your view of the situation or your performance?
- How has the experience of researching and presenting these case studies contributed to your overall understanding of different radionuclide therapies?
- Have the skills you developed in structuring information, engaging an audience, and responding to questions during this training activity supported you in other training activities, such as explaining procedures to patients or discussing cases in multidisciplinary team meetings?
- How has the feedback you received (if any) on this presentation influenced your approach to communicating complex information in other contexts?
- What transferable skills, such as clear communication and the ability to synthesise complex information, did you develop through this training activity that will be valuable in your future role as a Clinical Scientist?
- What clear actions for continued development in your presentation skills or your understanding of specific therapies have you identified as a result of reflecting on this experience over time?
- How might the experience of presenting case studies prepare you for future opportunities to educate colleagues or present research findings?
