This article describes how reflective practice can be used to ensure the best care is given to patients under difficult circumstances

Reflection is an aptitude which can be used and refined by nurses to underpin their practice. It can also help nurses develop their practice by identifying and analysing nursing events to produce an understanding that will strengthen or change actions. This enables practice to become grounded in theory, thus narrowing the theory- practice gap.
