7. What the GMC says…… “Medical graduates should be able to reflect on their practice, be self-critical and carry out an audit of their own work and identify their own learning needs. The General Medical Council also suggests that personal portfolios are important in this regard because they allow students to identify their strengths and weaknesses, which in turn allows them to focus their learning more appropriately.”

13. the unreflective practitioner I try not to think too much about what I do. I’m not very interested in learning from my experiences. Reflecting on what I do - thinking about how I can improve and develop - makes me a more effective, more professional practitioner. Would this attitude inspire confidence?

16. Fact 1 - scans 3 months after surgery revealed that the stented vein was not working – the operation had not led to the longer-term improvements initially hoped for. Fact 2 – collateral veins, used as an alternative to the main vein were, however, working fine and, indeed, doing a very good job. Q. What would a doctor need to consider before communicating this news to a patient?
