Reflection and Development Log
Turn the day into lasting practice
Reflection helps you keep what you learned and is useful evidence for your e-portfolio and appraisal. Use the prompts below within a week of the course. Write about your own practice and remove any patient-identifiable details.
Reflection prompts
- Describe one scenario you led. What happened, and what was your role?
- What went well in your leadership, and why?
- What would you change next time? Be specific (for example: "allocate roles before touching the patient").
- What did the debrief tell you about your communication and delegation?
- How will you apply this in your next resuscitation in the ED, and by when?
My development plan
| Goal | Action | By when | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead a cardiac arrest with closed-loop communication | Volunteer to lead the next arrest call on shift with a senior observing | Next 4 weeks | Supervised learning event (for example a Leadership Assessment Tool, LAT) |
| Lead a trauma primary survey | Lead a trauma call or a departmental simulation | Next 3 months | Reflection and senior feedback |
Tip
Record supervised learning events in your RCEM e-portfolio and link them to the relevant SLOs: SLO3 (resuscitation), SLO4 (injured patients), SLO5 (children) and SLO8 (leading the ED shift).
