You are required to record a minimum of five written reflections on the Code, your CPD and practice-related feedback, as outlined in ‘How to revalidate with the NMC’. Please fill in a page for each of your reflections, ensuring you do not include any information that might identify a specific patient or service user. You must also discuss these reflections as part of a professional development discussion (PDD) with another NMC registrant and may be required to upload a signed PDD form.
Reflective account:
|
What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback and/or event or experience in you practice?
|
The patient was newly diagnosed with end stage renal failure and had been finding it hard to come to terms with the constraints on his lifestyle. I made time to sit and chat to the patient, to go through his concerns and to check that he fully understood about the diet and fluid restrictions. But, to also explain that the situation will get better and he may well be able to return to work and go on holiday again. I explained that the staff are here to help and there is a patient support network. The patient came to time the next week to say that he really appreciated the time that I had spent with him. He felt much better about everything. He also had a better understanding of his diet and fluid restrictions which were making him feel better. He had also been chatting to a couple of the other patients, some of whom were able to hold down a job, and the other had been on a cruise.
|
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
|
It made me feel really pleased that I was able to make difference to the patient. It is so nice to have positive feedback from a patient making my role worthwhile. Although, at times the pace on the ward can be really fast it is important to make time to chat to the patients allowing them time to voice their concerns and give them guidance to improve their quality of life. It is important that patients are able to trust the healthcare professionals.
|
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
|
Although it is a busy period of time when the patient is being ‘hooked up’ to the machine I will try and discuss any concerns they have, but I will always ensure that I spend some time with them later on in the dialysis session. Also, as a result of the patients having many common concerns and questions I have decided to start up a patient newsletter with the help of my colleagues. Patients will also be encouraged to contribute to the newsletter to provide hints, tips and personal experiences. We could also look at recipe ideas, and contact details for advice.
