Reflective practice is probably the most important tool in the repertoire of any professionalIt is a key way of dealing with all the problems for which there is no straightforward response.

She takes important but illusive ideas and shows clearly what they mean for making sense of one’s own practice. -- Professor David Boud
Getting students to apply their personal and professional experiences to practice is an essential part of continuing professional development.

It remains the most contemporary, readable and relevant book for many subject areas. -- Richard Race
During a long, rich and varied career in nursing I have learnt that how we care, how we give of ourselves to others, begins and ends with understanding of who we are. In Reflective Practice, Gillie Bolton provides a torch that helps us to shine a light on our personal motivations, anxieties, needs and defences, giving us the insights we need to better care for the patients, families and carers that we serve. -- Kate Billingham
