INTRODUCTION
Global health is described as an area of a research and practices that places a priority
on improving health and attain equity in health for all people (Benedet and et.al., 2021). To
improve the health, nursing care practices are designed that helps to improve the
communication between patients and hospitals. Thus, in this critical reflection, I will
exploring the clinical risk that I have identified in my current workplace which is related to
fall of an old lady. The reflection will be explained by using Gibbs reflective model where
it’s all 6 stage will be described in order to explore about risk along with all the stages. The
stages include description, feeling, analysis, evaluation, conclusion and action plan.
Kim and Shin (2020) defined in their study that fall is an event where individual
involuntarily coming to a rest at ground. Therefore, it is consider as a serious concern
regarding clinical aspects because it is one of the largest cause of harm in a patient. Hence,
different factors need to be considered while minimizing the risk which include human and
organizational factors. So, by sharing my own experience regarding fall will help to analyse
and reflect on an experience to obtain more insight about an incident. Also in this essay, I
will examine my own experience by using the reflective model as well as risk assessment tool
as suitable in the relevant experience. Further, with the help of action plan, I also suggest
ways to deal with such situation in near future so that the situation may not getting worse.
GIBBS REFLECTIVE MODEL
The model is developed by Graham Gibbs in 1988 in order to give a structure to
learning from experiences. The model also assists to examine experience and allow to learn
and plan from things that either went well or did not go well. Thus, with the help of these 6
stages, an individual well explained their views and experiences along with proper ways that
can be beneficial in near future. Hence, the description of each stage of a model is as
mentioned below:
 Description: In this stage, person describe the situation in detail in order to determine
what happened that helps to draw the conclusion in better manner. Along with this,
some of the questions are already framed that helps to describe the situation which
includes when and where did this happen, why were you there etc.
 Feeling: In this, encourage individual to talk about their thoughts and felt during the
experience (Gibbs’s reflective cycle, 2020). In this, individual should not commenting
