Introduction to Reflective Practice for Health and Social Care Professionals

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, Social Care Ireland would like to invite anyone working in the human services as a 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 purchasing a ticket the Reflective Practice modules will be livestreamed from HSEland onto our webpage. 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 on our webpage for one hour a week for three weeks. All you have to do  is carve out the time and come along and listen there will be time for Q&A at the end of each session.

Part 1 of the module; An introduction to Reflective Practice is approximately 75 mins long, this will be broken down into two separate webinars of 40 mins (week 1) and 35 mins (week 2). The final webinar HSCP’s with experience of Reflective Practice will last approximately 50 mins (week 3)

Week 1: 20th September at 12 noon we will start the first part of the first module An introduction to Reflective Practice (approximately 40 minutes) with 15 minutes for questions and answers.

Week 2: 27th September at 12 noon we will finish the first module An introduction to Reflective Practice (approximately 35 minutes) with 15 minutes for questions and answers.
