Assignment Brief:
Written 1500 word reflection related to NMC Platform 3 (50% weighting) Episode of Care – 50% weighting / graded in practice
(1500 words) – This will require reflection upon a clinical scenario.
This scenario can be hypothetical or chosen from your placement experience and MUST BE linked to platform 3 of NMC CODE OF CONDUCT, assessing needs and planning care.
You must use a reflective model to structure your work (LO 1) 50% contribution to the module mark/grade.
Critically reflect
Use an established reflection model to help guide the structure of your use a reflective model to structure your work (LO 1) 50% contribution to the module mark/grade.
Critically reflect means you need to look at research and look deep into the subject. Look at different angles, analyse. Show that you have learnt from the reflection.
How will the new knowledge gained from your reflection and research change your future practice?
Things to Consider:
Keep it manageable because 1500 words really isn’t a lot.
For example, if you take care of a patient with sepsis, writing about the subject of sepsis is massive. Maybe just look at the monitoring of lactate that you might have done. How/why is that recorded? How does the hospital monitor the effectiveness of the treatment? What national guidelines are there? What organisations are involved? What recent developments have there been? How has patient safety been improved because of these?
Link your findings back to your observed incident/episode and to NMC platform 3.
