INTRODUCTION
Health and Social Care is a term that relates to services that are available from health and
social care providers in the UK. This is a generic term used to refer to the whole of the healthcare
provision infrastructure, and private sector. The four principles are: Respect for autonomy– the
patient has the right to refuse or choose their treatment. Beneficence– a practitioner should act in
the best interest of the patient. Justice– concerns the distribution of scarce health resources, and
the decision of who gets what treatment. This report covers questions such as purpose and
importance of reflection in health and social care practice, Gibbs and Kolb's models of reflection,

LO 1
Purpose and importance of reflection in health and social care practice
Reflection practice is very important in all the actions which are taking place in any of
the fields because there is a requirement of knowing what is happening in the actions and how
they can be improved so that the practices can get better for other users. Understanding the
methods and practices which are happening in the health care service is very important because
they can be studied in detail so that the health care service will know few questions about
themselves. The few questions the health care service is having are What they are supposed to
know, what do they need to know the most, how will they understand the situation and how
much they can understand that and the last question is what measures the health care service can
take to take this learning further. (Cruess, Cruess and Steinert, 2016.)
Purpose and Importance
Reflections purpose in a health care is that it allows recognizing strengths and
weaknesses and will be used for the ongoing learning in health care services. Reflection will help
to develop skills such as improve motivation, self directed learning and improve the quality of
care which is being served to the patients. The people who are using practitioner further in life
they must carry a stethoscope in one hand and reflection in the other hand because it is very

important for practices to keep changing with challenges which come in front of health and
social care. In health and care service there has to be a reflection of all methods and practices so
that health care service can improve them according to the wants and needs of the people. There
is a need to change the services the health and care services are giving and even the treatments
are changing very day therefore the reflection will tell health care service as to how health care is
doing and how patients or patients are reacting to it and what can be improvements which can be
taken up by health and social care. There are a lot of foreign practitioners can come in this
department and reflection has to be taken out because customers and patients should be satisfied
with services they are getting and not what the individual department is giving. Continuous
learning is involved in this process because it is very important and health care service needs to
make changes in health care service so that there is satisfaction (McCormack and McCance,
2016).
There is a health level demand of professionals in this field. Reflection is required
because it can make the industry understand the motive, attitude, values, perceptions and feelings
which are of the patients because that is very important for the health care service. An
understanding of all those factors is must because that can get around a lot of changes which are
required in the field so that the customer can feel more comfortable and satisfied with the health
care service and more people will be able to come in to the health and social care for help.
Gibbs and Kolb's models of reflection
There are particular stages in brief which are given by Gibbs and those are as follows,
description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusions and personal action plans. Description
includes what is happening without taking out any conclusion to the situation in the health care
services. Feelings include the emotions and reactions the patients and patients had to the
treatment or any function or changes in the health and social care. Evaluation is when the good
and the bad decisions are there is a value judgment which is made on that factor so that the
patients can get the right services from the health care centre. Analysis is when there is a sense
given to the situation and in this the new ideas from outside can be got and added in the industry
so that new outcomes can come out. There are two types of conclusion which are general and
specific the general conclusion includes what the conclusion could be in general sense from the
analyses and experience the health care service has undertaken. The specific conclusion there has
