During the session, I collected most of my subjective markers, but noticed that the interaction wasn’t smooth, and it’s only after the feedback of my tutors after the session that I became more aware of what went wrong.Īlthough his problem and goals were quite clear, I led the subjective exam with my questions but didn’t listen to him actively and didn’t show enough empathy towards his situation. He wanted to know if it was normal or not, and if I could show him exercises he could do. When I first saw him, his thigh pain was completely resolved, but he was concerned about the fact that his back felt “stiff” at the end of the day. He was then referred in physiotherapy and obtained an appointment with me 9 months later. During this period, he saw his GP who referred him for a MRI that he only obtained in February 2018. In November 2017, he has had an intense low back and right anterior thigh pain episode. John is a 56 years old male who works as a self-employed stage installer for theaters. John sat in front of me and I started my subjective examination. I was under supervision of 2 tutors who stayed in one side of the cubicle while observing the consultation. The last paragraph explains how this reflection allowed me to recognize a similar situation and to change my behaviour accordingly to avoid repeating the same mistakes.ĭuring the formative exam of my placement in November 2018, I saw a patient named John (pseudonym), for his first session. This essay is divided by chapters corresponding to the phases described by Gibbs in his cycle: With proper analysis, it is also a chance to convert this event into a learning to avoid making the same mistakes if a similar situation reoccurs. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection on a failed experience to gain a deeper understanding on the reasons it went wrong. To reflect on this experience, I will use Gibbs reflective cycle, described by Gibbs in 1988. This reflective essay is an opportunity to look back and analyze an incident that happened with a patient. It raised my awareness about my strengths and especially my weaknesses within my clinical practice.
Thanks to my tutors, it has been a highly enriching experience.
In October 2018, I completed my first clinical placement. He completed his first clinical placement in October-November 2018 and here is his self-reflective essay about his experience: He is a part time student of the MSK MSc at the University of Brighton.
