What have you learnt from this intervention and how will you use this to improve your practice in the future?

I have been given more confidence, better public speaking skills, but most importantly I learned to

Everything that I am currently learning from my senior clinics is helping me improve on skills that I still need to work on. Seeing my mentor perform the skills ill be doing anytime soon, gives me an introduction on what to expect. The experiences that I am gaining are going to help me become a great hygienist in my future. Learning how to gain great interproximal skills is an important skill that will help me work well with others along with my patients.

Personally, for the duration of the health and social care course I believe that I have changed. This course has given me the additional skills and knowledge in which I can use for the future. My presentational skills especially have improved as before when I had to present to an audience I would become very nervous, however in various units presenting in front of an audience was essential. From the encouragement from both the teachers and my peers I am able to now confidently speak in front of a small audience and be comfortable with my work and present it - I have also used their feedback as a way to improve myself.

I feel a positive part of this learning experience was everybody being respectful of one another. The key skill involved in this was listening and also not being judgmental. I personally feel having an open mind about others professionals roles was a skill I developed. I feel I learnt and developed more respect for the roles other healthcare professionals have. Another positive aspect was everybody understanding the team goal and what we were aiming to achieve.

This book is deep and many of the ideas must be implemented over time. Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self by Rosalene Glickman helps the reader figure out what is most important in their life, then helps the reader come up with the best way to make that part of their life the best it can be. This book is extremely practical and gives great advice. Why Your Life Sucks: And What You Can Do About It by Alan H. Cohen focuses on reasons why life sometimes just doesn't feel right and how to remove those things from your life.

I then found that the patients were much more receptive to my ideas because I had showed them I cared.

Looking back to the first day of clinical to the last day I have changed a lot during this time. During the whole clinical experience I had to use a lot of the growth mindset in-order to get fully through the whole process. My clinical teacher and I didn’t quite have the same opinion on certain things. While we did struggle through are different mindsets, it was a great learning experience. I will have people I work with that I don’t always agree with and I will have to find a way to compromise with them. This was something we talked about with each other and worked through. So, Im grateful in that aspect in learning how to deal with those situations. I also changed in that I’m more confident in giving my lessons to my students, along with I tried to not be as scared in-front of them.

My second clinical day at Mercy Defiance Hospital, progressive care unit, was overwhelming but rewarding and very educational. Through the 8 hours I was there, I learned a lot. I engaged myself in many self-directing learning practices to futher promote my professional growth. My first time interaccting with my patient,I was joined with my clinical instructor. While in the room, I got to listen to to my patients heart, lungs, and bowel sounds. I was able to see and examine the patients ostomy bag, as well as help them to the bathroom. There were ways that I can improve my professional growth, suchas,having the confidence to not second guess my self about things to do in assessments. For example, I know how to assess the lungs, I should not second guess where to listen for the sounds. One of my goals for next week dealing with professional growth would be to have the confidence to know what I have learned and use it. My second one being to go into the room with a confident attitude and believe in myself.

After reading this book I will look at certain situations differently in life and try to be more mindful. The message of this book is that life is a book

I learnt that Clinical Psychologist isn’t an easy job, it requires a lot of things like patience which is something I don’t have, I learnt that to make it in life you have to work hard and no matter how angry you are you must pull yourself together and carry on with your day.

I have learned to communicate better with both my colleagues, patients and their families and how to develop therapeutic relationships. I have also improved in academic writing. I feel I have made positive impact on both patients and their families during module three and four placements. I safely practiced the clinical skills acquired during theory and on placement and have developed more confidence in delivering these skills.

The section of the book I read today was just as pointless as the one before. I do not need to be told how to live my life or what mistakes I shouldn’t make, or how to look at myself. I have a poor self-image but I work with it, I don’t want to just ‘change’ because that isn’t me. The tips in this book aren’t beneficial to me, I don’t need to be told how to be happy or be myself, I am not a clone nor am I lab rat so I refuse to be treated as a
