To record you hours of practice as a registered nurse and/or midwife, please enter you most recent practice first and then any other
practice until you reach 450 hours. You do not necessarily need to record individual practice hours. You can describe your practice
hours in team of standard working days or weeks. For example if you work full time, please just make one entry of hours. If you have
worked in a range of setting please set these out individually. You may need to print additional pages to add more periods of
practice.. if you are both a nurse and midwife you will need to provide information to cover 450 hours of practice of these registrations

Reflective Accounts Form
You must use this form to record five written reflective accounts on you CPD and/or practice
related feedback and/or an event or experience in you practice and how this relates to the
Code. Please fill in a page for each of you reflective accounts, making sure you do not
include any information that might identify a specific patient, service user or colleague.
Please refer to the NMC guidance on preserving anonymity in Guidance sheet 1 in ‘How to
revalidate with the NMC’.
Reflective account:
What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback and/or
event or experience in you practice?
I received a letter that was sent to my ward Sister thanking me for the care I had given to
their relative during the End stages of life.
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback and/or event or
experience in you practice?
Several years ago I undertook an end of life training course and this has impacted upon
my practice ever since. Is it nice to know that this course and consequently the skills &
knowledge I have gained from it have made a difference to both patient and their relatives
experiences during the end stages of the patient’s life and their death.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
I am thinking that I may try and access a more advanced end of life course to enhance
and develop my skills further which will directly affect patient and their relatives care.
Even though I have had positive feedback there is always room for improvement and I
strive for this as end of life care is of upmost importance. This will enable me to teach and
support others dealing with clients’ needs.

Reflective account:
What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback and/or
event or experience in you practice?
I attended Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in January 2014 where the
implementation of the North England North West Unified Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary
Resuscitation policy was introduced. During the session they explained how the policy
practically worked within clinical practice and the new documentation (Lilac form), the
Mental Capacity documentation and the patient information leaflet.
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
That the policy is now Northwest Regional and not just Trust based. The documentation
(Lilac form) is given to the patient / relative / caregiver on discharge. What to do in relation
to the Mental Capacity assessments and documentation (in relation to UDNACPR)
The use of patient / relative information leaflets
Other key documentation that may influence uDNACPR decisions such as Advanced
Directive to Refuse Medical Treatment (ADRT) and Power of Attorney Health and Welfare.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
I know feel that I understand the process of uDNACPR and have a more comprehensive
understanding of the policy which I can utilise in clinical practice which directly affects
patient care.
I also went away from the training session and accessed the policy and read it in full which
has explained things further. I also feel that I can now manage affectively patient / relative /
caregivers questions and those of colleagues.

I received practice feedback in the form of a thank you letter (see attached)
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
The feedback thanked me for supporting a junior doctor during their clinical skills induction
and assessing their clinical competence within the classroom setting.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
This has made me feel more confident about my role as a teacher and I feel better
equipped to support new staff in developing their clinical skills.

I attended clinical champions’ course in December 2013 which is a one-day course
focused on how clinical skill can influence patient safety in relation to infection control.
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
I learned about the risks of catheter associated urinary tract infections and how to
correctly perform this procedure.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
I had never catheterised a male patient before so following the course (where I had
practiced both female and male catheterisation) I undertook supervised practice (with
patient consent) in this skill (see attached competency.

Reflective account:
What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback and/or
event or experience in you practice?
I attended Cardiopulmonary resuscitation training in January 2014 where we were
instructed and practiced Adult and Paediatric Basic Life Support
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
Within the training session I refreshed my knowledge of the current national
resuscitation guidance and the instructor linked this with practice and the clinical
environment. I also gained refreshed knowledge and information regarding audit finding
on local issues and policies. These included MEWS and Sepsis.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
Emergency situations are generally quite daunting however require immediate action
which involves having the knowledge and confidence to sure safe and best practice.
Through regular refresher training this allows me to practice the skills and ask questions
in a safe environment to ensure that the care I deliver in such moments remains based
on current guidance and best practice. The training reassures that the care I deliver is
accurate and appropriate and I feel better equipped to deal.

What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
I completed 2 modules, Clinical Examination skills & Diagnostic Health Assessment
over a 4 month period.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
I learnt how to obtain a comprehensive history from the patient. Also, how to examine
different systems and provide a differential diagnosis. I was also able to write several
assignments & written examination at Level 7. It provided me with the underpinning
knowledge to interpret physiological and clinical data to determine a differential
diagnosis and management plan.

Reflective account:
What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback and/or
event or experience in you practice?
The patient was newly diagnosed with end stage renal failure and had been finding it
hard to come to terms with the constraints on his lifestyle. I made time to sit and chat to
the patient, to go through his concerns and to check that he fully understood about the
diet and fluid restrictions. But, to also explain that the situation will get better and he
may well be able to return to work and go on holiday again. I explained that the staff
are here to help and there is a patient support network. The patient came to time the
next week to say that he really appreciated the time that I had spent with him. He felt
much better about everything. He also had a better understanding of his diet and fluid
restrictions which were making him feel better. He had also been chatting to a couple
of the other patients, some of whom were able to hold down a job, and the other had
been on a cruise.
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback?
It made me feel really pleased that I was able to make difference to the patient. It is so
nice to have positive feedback from a patient making my role worthwhile. Although, at
times the pace on the ward can be really fast it is important to make time to chat to the
patients allowing them time to voice their concerns and give them guidance to improve
their quality of life. It is important that patients are able to trust the healthcare
professionals.
How did you change or improve your work as a result?
Although it is a busy period of time when the patient is being ‘hooked up’ to the machine
I will try and discuss any concerns they have, but I will always ensure that I spend some
time with them later on in the dialysis session. Also, as a result of the patients having
many common concerns and questions I have decided to start up a patient newsletter
with the help of my colleagues. Patients will also be encouraged to contribute to the
newsletter to provide hints, tips and personal experiences. We could also look at recipe
ideas, and contact details for advice.
