In this second edition the authors offer the reader a more strengths based approach to reflective practice. The book discusses the need for skilful facilitation, high quality mentoring and the necessity for good support networks. It emphasises that learning through reflection supports acting with care, integrity and safely. The book describes the different forms of reflection and the many ways it can be facilitated. It attempts to support, with evidence, the claims that reflection can be a catalyst for enhancing clinical competence, safe and accountable practice, professional self-confidence, self-regulation and the collective improvement of more considered and appropriate healthcare.

'This is a surprising text in that the reader is not bogged down with theory and reflective cycles. It opens the reader's mind to the value of reflection and how to go about it by providing real examples from clinical practice'.Tracey Bowden, Senior Lecturer (Cardiac Care) City University, in the British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, Vol 5, No 12.
