Ophthalmology is a scientifically complex and rapidly evolving specialty. It also involves uncertainty and the emotional demands of supporting patients, families and colleagues. Reflection helps you learn from these experiences and develop your practice over time.
Why reflective practice matters
Reflective practice helps you to:
- learn from clinical and professional experiences
- improve the care you provide
- develop your professional judgement and professionalism
- support your own wellbeing
- respond thoughtfully to uncertainty and challenge
This page brings together key reflective practice resources that support the OST curriculum.
