1.1 Importance of continuously improving own knowledge and practice and that of the
team
Management and managers: Continuous development is significant for enhancing the
capabilities of team members as well as for effectively accomplishing management tasks. It is
very essential in my opinion to develop and improve knowledge to team and health caretaker to
increase quality of services to patients (Tan and Chou, 2018). I think management of the entire
care taker in the health care industry with effective training will provide them with better
knowledge to handle to activities and decrease their dependency on their seniors.
Workforce development training: I also think it is very essential for me to develop effective
workforce training and development planning by analysing all potential of the workforce of my
organization. This will help me to facilitate safety and security of employee and patients with
better understanding to make decision effectively. Continuous improvement helped me to gained
better vision to become effective in performing all the activities and fulfil my responsibility as a
care manager in health care organization.
CQC requirements and relation between training and quality services: In transition period
individuals can face difficulties in providing care as per CQC standards. Thus training will help
to develop the necessary skills for learning and achieving positive outcomes in terms of improve
care of adults as per their needs. As a management member it is my duty to be energetic and alert
to make decisions to support staff and provide them with better solutions to increase their
performance improve service quality for patients effectively.
Processes for development: The development pace can increased rapidly when motivation is
provided simultaneously along with training programs. I also have to influence my staff to
motivate them in accepting change in the organization and accept training and development and
this can only be possible when I am increasing my knowledge continuously. Due to rapid change
in corporate structure and needs and wants of population the value of work changes and impacts
the performance of staff negatively. I need to analyse effective process for developing quality
learning cycle in which I enjoy and also not feel pressurized. By learning in fun way I can also

stabilize my mental status to make effective decision to develop and train my staff in health care
organization.
1.2 Importance of reflective practice in improving performance and the use of models to
support the reflective practitioner
I have understood that reflective learning increases my knowledge from my own experiences to
make effective decisions to increase quality of services in my organization effectively (Egan,
Maidment and Connolly, 2018). By using Kolb's reflective learning cycle I gained information
that it helps to develop skills and knowledge with experimental learning whereas Gibbs is a six
stage model which helps to increase the insight and personal development by repeating the same
task effectively. From the learning I understood that there is a positive relationship between
professional and responsible as care manager to provide effective services to my patients and
treat them with full liability. I faced many issues while performing reflective learning due to lack
of proper skills and information. Reflective practice provide effective understanding about all the
factors which have been experienced by me to develop informed learning and attain potential to
manage staff in heath care organization. It helps me to understand what I feel while performing
the task and analyse them according to the resources I used to determine my performance in the
previous task and develop effective strategies to increase my performance. Reflective learning
also helped me to increase the efficiency to develop personal and professional development plan
according to activities performed to increase required skills of me and my team effectively.
Innovative thinking is encouraged in this reflective practice to become more successful. I
identified that I am ineffective in some of the leadership skills and I need to work in those skills
to evolve better care manager.
