Reflective practice course for Dental Practitioners

This session describes the principles and techniques of reflective practice, and how to incorporate them into everyday primary or secondary care clinical practice.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

• describe the key principles behind reflection and experiential learning
• discuss how these principles can be incorporated into Continuing Professional Development (CPD), learning situations and clinical practice
• identify situations where this approach to learning could be applied
• list the drivers required to proceed the cyclical process of experiential learning
• evaluate where improvements in practice and learning have occurred

This is the crux of modern reflective practice as we strive to be patient centred, evidence based and clinically effective all at the same time!
