FREE & OPEN TO ALL

Sometimes giving time to reflect on our practice is difficult and there can be a variety of constraints preventing us. Maybe its due to feeling we don’t have the time; we are already managing a heavy workload, there is a lack of support for reflection where we work, or having vacancies within the team. When we are under these pressures; the reverse is warranted, we need to carve out some time to reflect, as the probability increases of making a rash or poor decision when we are stressed. Having the time and space to reflect on our practice can alleviate some of these pressures. The aim of these eLearning modules is to assist Health and Social Care Professionals (HSCP) access the supports, knowledge and tools to utilise reflection within their practice.

This is an interdisciplinary workshop. The Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine would like to invite any HSCP that is interested in Reflective Practice to join us. These modules cater to both the novice practitioner and to the more experienced. Once you register for a webinar by booking a ticket the Reflective Practice modules will be livestreamed from HSEland through our Zoom platform. It is merely a way of facilitating HSCP’s some time to sit down to work through the content. We all have the best will in the world to listen to webinars and learning materials after work or in our own time, but it often doesn’t happen. So, what we are planning to do is play the modules via Zoom for one hour per week for three weeks. We hope that you can carve out the time and listen in. There will be time for Q&A at the end of each session with the CPD Officers.
