Reflective practice allows nurses to refocus their thinking for complex patients

“As the Nurse Unit Manager of a busy Ambulatory Cancer Service… I was responsible for a group of nurses who had the privilege of working with patients at very vulnerable parts of their journey through cancer. The nursing profession requires lifelong learning, reflecting on experiences to improve the way we work and consciously analysing decision making… Personal supervision and group reflective practice allows nurses to refocus their thinking for complex patients using critical analysis, drawing on theory to increase confidence & become more proactive, qualified professional nurses.

Chris Dawber provided this service and helped this team make sense of events, situations and actions in the workplace. His respect for confidentiality and empathy for our patients empowered the team and the life skills learned are the foundations of the nurses and the work we perform to this day.”
