Assessment 2: Case Study Reflection Template
Introduction:
What? In this section, give a thorough description of the clinical scenario/encounter. Â This should be something that challenged you on a professional or personal level whilst undertaking your first PEP.
So What? This is an analysis of the event. How did you feel at the time and is this different to your feelings after the event? What did you do well and what could you have done better? What were the effects of what you did or didn’t do?
Now What? You should identify what is the main learning you took from reflecting on your practice? What are the implications for you in future clinical practice based on what you have described and analysed? What two key areas within your practice can you improve and what help/strategies can you identify to assist you to modify your practice if a similar situation arises in your next PEP?
Reference  List
Your reflection needs to be about you and what you have learnt through a process. Rather than outlining the co
ectness of an action, More interested to know why mistakes can be made or why things are done well.

Â
· Shows an ability to critically reflect on practice using Driscoll’s model of reflection.
· Relates reflection back to two key areas within practice which can be improved and identifies strategies to improve practice.
· Communicates effectively using a well-structured and concise writing style
· References co

Â
In a nutshell, the reflections that do well are those that:
- Convince the reader that the writer has been challenged by an event or situation
- Convincingly relay the writer’s feelings (So What section)
- Demonstrate the writer’s insight into their own practice
- Complete the tasks required:
o Uses the stages effectively
o Chooses two key areas that have been informed by the experience.
o Links these areas to professional standards framework
o Identifies relevant and convincing strategies for improvement
o Uses EBP( evidence based practice)
o Adheres to the word count

1.Ability to use the steps of Driscoll’s model of reflection to demonstrate insight into your own practice
2. Ability to link your progression to a professional standards framework with strategies and links to EBP
Driscoll’s reflective cycle
Â
What:Â In this section, give a
ief description of the scenario you chose to reflect on. In order for this to be a
ief description, it is likely that it will be an aspect of the scenario. This should be something that challenged you on a professional or personal level about the scenario. References are not required for this section.
Â
So What:Â This is an analysis of the event and you will devote a greater portion of your writing to this section. In this section, you will need to describe how your chosen simulation made you feel. You will need to analyse why it made you feel like this, with reference to your completed or upcoming PEP. While refe
ing to PEP, you are encouraged to remain anchored on the scenario you have chosen. Remember, the link to PEP is more about how the experience of working as a student nurse (and your progression towards registration) makes you feel. While you may make reference to experiences, you should avoid introducing detailed descriptions of scenarios in this section. This section will typically be more heavily referenced. Remember, you are analysing your reaction and feelings towards a simulation, and your references should reflect this.
Â
Now What:Â You should identify what is the main learning you took from reflecting on reaction to this simulation? What are the implications for you in future clinical practice based on what you have described and analysed? What two key areas within your practice can you improve and what help/strategies can you identify to assist you to modify your practice if a related situation arises in your next PEP? Again, this section will have references. As this section focuses more on the impact this exercise has had on your development as a student nurse, this section will likely include reference to standards that guide nursing practice.
