Brief: This written assignment is intended as a reflective practice statement that you might be required to provide in a workplace situation. Imagine you are applying for a job in a health related profession. The essential criteria for the job include appropriate knowledge of, and commitment to, improving the wellbeing of both staff and clients and experience of reflective practice. Your job application requires you to describe a key concept that you have learnt about and that will impact your practice.
