INTRODUCTION
Professional values are described within ethical codes of healthcare professionals. In fact,
ethical codes justify nursing profession practices and the quality of professional care which
should be provided to service seekers (Bamat and et. al., 2021). Whereas, it has been determined
that advancements in technologies and expand of roles of nurse practitioners have provoked
tangle and in some cases complex ethical dilemmas for each nurse practitioners (Bassot, 2015).
This report underpins of clinical incident i.e. self-SWOT analysis as well as discussion of role of
a professional within healthcare sector on Zoom class that made me to analyse my strength,
weakness, opportunities and threat and suitable role of my future practice.
MAIN BODY
Description
It is a first stage of Gibb's model, which shows what was the scenario of the situation that
is encountered by a person (Camerinoand et. al., 2019). It can provide whole background of
situation learning about what happened, when it occurred, who was there when it occurred and
so on.
When I achieved information that I am going to do self- SWOT analysis, I got extremely
excited as I was going to acquire number of learning about myself and also it can also show
several aspects of self learning and also I was going to attain knowledge and experience of
clinical procedures here in UK and the ethical style of practice of a professional. In class, I also
attained information that students have to select one profession that they will also like to choose
in their future practice, for that I choose my profession as physiotherapist. While in class, I
encountered multiple learning in regards with roles and responsibilities of the professionals
working in health and social care of different professionals, as in my case I chooses
physiotherapist as my profession and explored about its roles and responsibilities as well as their
ethical duties and which helped me to enhance my overall knowledge and skills. Also in class,
there were some of them are positive and negative factors that came across which described my
self potential and foster my confidence. It was self SWOT analysis, in which I have underpin my
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat. In my opinion, it is effective practice, as it can
help an individual identify own plus points as well as our negative points, that can be improvise
my lacking and myself eligible to perform my future practice in a effective way. As I have

discovered that in the profession of physiotherapist, there are number of professional behaviours
are present that can facilitate in refining clinical approach and clinical profession.
Moreover, I was also impressed and amazed after identifying my strength, weakness,
opportunities and threat. According to me, swot analysis is technique that can taught to analyse
one's performance and can help them to evaluate on what they are good at and what are areas of
which need to be improved. Strength: my strength which I discovered while doing SWOT
analysis on myself our good communication, ability to work good under pressure and ask for
assistance if it is needed, effective working life balance, good at organising and on-top of work
pressure, keen and quick learner, able to accept guidance and feedback and also able to act upon,
effective technical skills that can help me in recording individual's details, good taking and
maintaining notes and can also write clearly, good at addressing and acknowledging problems of
patients, good at establishing therapeutic relationships with others, able to develop and apply
patient as well as my own safety, best at maintaining ethics and its associated models.
Weakness: My weaknesses which I have discovered while in class are thinking about
long term goals, time management, remembering objective measures for each individuals.
Whereas, my opportunities which I have determined as group work, hydrotherapy, MDT
approach, holistic rehab. And also, I have also achieved learning in respect to gain threats,which
are time constraints, emotional or agitated pain with other, physical and emotional challenges
while treating my patients, family pressure or pressure from carers of patients.
Feelings
The feelings is a second stage in which it can provide learning what were my feeling
while this clinical incident prevailed (Fernando and Lindley, 2018). At first, doing Swot on
myself was interesting, I felt like I will as it provides learning about myself. This clinical
incident is termed to positive for me. Because, it provided me, vision where I can enhance my
professional skills for my future practice. As in, where I should work on and what are strength
that I have in my profession, what are other requirements. It also provides opportunities to look
on and what are the threats that can become barrier while providing effective practices to
individuals and raise interruption in my future practice. I was feeling that I will get a chance to
observe my own skills. I felt the strength which I will be covering through this assessment can
be helpful in my future practice and will be beneficial for the people whom I will be assisting
further.

On the review of Self Swot analysis, I started thinking about my best skills which I was
good at, such as communication skills, team work abilities and so on. While, observing my
weakness I thought areas in which I encounter problem such as time management and others. I
thought about my opportunities which I thought I can achieve in my practice, but while, as
addressing my threat, I felt little bit confused and but at the end, I was also cover them. It
provided me a result, which will highly influence my future practice. I feel like that I have
developed understanding of roles and duties, professionalism of varieties of profession of
healthcare and also it made me learn about my chosen profession as physiotherapist. It has
positively influenced me, as it can also make major impact on my self assessment that has
developed a standard, which will help me to attain effective positive outcomes for individuals
who will seek service from me in future.
According to me, other people were also enjoying in this self-assessment, as it was a
great opportunities for them to determined and analyse their choosen profession and personal
skills. I witnessed that some were getting little annoyed as well by knowing their weaknesses.
Now, I feel like I have attained a great opportunity to suspect my strengths and weakness in me,
which were compulsory to address. These are important to determined as it provides me
direction to improvise and foster my skills that can help me with my future practice as well. I
also feel that I have also attain learning of professionalism and being punctual for work. I have
learnt which I will be working and got learning of staying at constant pressure clinical pressure
in order to give their best in my future practice. I thought it will also help me to develop my
learning in respect with my selected profession for future. The swot analysis will gonna facilitate
with me with my future practice as it will provide me learning how I can modify my professional
skills as per the need of my profession.
Evaluation
It is a third stage of model in which main aims is to underpin affirmative and negative
experience in this situation (Hargreaves and Page, 2013). It also helps to describe what things
which gone well, while doing assessment. It can also facilitate me to provide understanding of
positive and negative contributors. I have evaluated that self SWOT analysation process was
termed to beneficial for me. But at some it was little bit annoying and confusing as well. As it
was my first experience, which gave me opportunity to explore my professional skills . In some

points such as observing opportunities made me feel good as it was opening number of gateways
for success such as group work, hydrotherapy, MDT approach, holistic rehab.
On the other hand I was little bit confused and annoyed while addressing threats As it
provided me abilities of observing myself. In this, I have learnt number of professional skills that
will help in my future practice which went well and it allowed me to gain a better understanding
where am I lacking. My contributions in this self assessment procedure was addressing each
steps of analysation process and also to be more straight forward in regards with my weakness
that I have self observed at that time.
I have also attained knowledge where I can use professional skills where it is required. I
likewise mastered various abilities identified with improvement of relational abilities which are
valuable being developed of clinical abilities. Significant obligation of mine in facility was to
foster information about myself in an exact way. It was a significant chance for me to learn
various roles and responsibilities, clinical treatment, morals, values as well as virtues of
physiotherapist profession.
I can utilize these taking in as from the reasonable entertainer point of view, and which is
the level at which reasonableness is almost certainly seen by framework creators, contains the
going with presumptions such as all activities are specific decisions and also people can see
terminations and means to accomplish these fruitions people are affected to seek after their own
self-picked objectives when settling on choices about philosophies or direct, people will
dependably pick an outline that has most vital individual utility, that is it will incite solitary
fulfilment; people have the information about the likely consequences of their activities when
they pick (Hoboken and et. al., 2017) .
Analysis
This is the fourth stage of model, it can explains what exactly and happened and how it is
reacted with theory. (Hoboken and et. al., 2017) As it can also delineate what can be
interventions which can be considered for the improvements and how it can be improved by one.
I have observed that I was pretty much confused in respect with analysation process which made
thing going bad. I have also analysed that the skills that I have attained through this self-
assessment such as determination of roles and responsibilities of profession, which can enhance
my learning in regards with profession. It can provide me a gateway to attain the opportunities
such as, physiotherapist in which, the most important is MDT ( Multidimensionality of Pain )

approach, as it described by the changes in sleep pattern, coping mechanisms as well as ability to
exercise. That can help me to suggest my patients in my future.
It can be beneficial for patients in order to manage their pain which occurs on daily task
and attend work as well. It has been discovered that it is long term goal for an individual which
can assess them to manage and addressing of pain. Through SWOT analysis, I have achieved
learning that as it is my opportunity which is considered as one of the gateway of success for my
future practice.
Conclusion
Gibbs actually consist two conclusion, in which one of the conclusion termed to be
general one, while another which is considered as transferable and a particular one also. (Bamat
and et. al., 2021) It can provide learning what an individuals have learnt and how it can be
improvise. In the conclusion , it can be concluded that self SWOT analysis is process by which
one can analyse their potential or their own practice. So that, one can improve their working or
improvement areas. I have analysed that to begin with SWOT, it might feel annoying at some
point but it has proved to be effective for me to analyse. It has provided me a lead to work and
can lead to improvise my future practice, which will helpful for service seekers. While doing this
assessment, it was a major opportunity for me to achieving learning where I am good at and
what I can do for my lacking areas.
I have learnt skills such as spontaneous decision making, problem solving, effective
communication skills, time management, balancing work life and so on, overall, I am glad that
these skills will help me to work effectively and will assist me to foster my own skills more, as
per the need. While this clinical incident, at first it was interesting and I was very excited. It
allows me learnt self test abilities in order to foster my own skills for my future practice. It can
likewise give comprehension and assurance how the administrations and nature of care ought to
be dealt with that can possibly offer types of assistance to each and every individual who are
available with in association. It might likewise show what mediations are needed in association,
regardless of whether there is correspondence hole, absence of labour force or absence of assets.
The social assist delegate with canning assist patient with any financial concerns she
might have, make plans to ensure an adequate social empowering gathering of individuals, and
fill in as an additional a wellspring of energetic assistance. The genuine warning or exercise
master can help in giving recommendations about practices and in the improvement of a

movement or rebuilding program (Li, et.al. 2016). In addition to this, I have also learnt the
understanding of role of physiotherapists in which they should be broad minded by their nature,
and should be open for others suggestions and support in order to provide effective practice to
achieve best outcomes of patients. This learning will make my future practice more effective and
efficient.
I have observed in my practice that combination of effective communication and broad
minds practitioners may accomplish task effectively. Also, I achieved learning that how one
barrier of one's practice can interpret quality of services and can unable to achieve desired goal
for an individual. Now can work effectively on the skills and be able to improvise.
Action Plan
Action plan is the last step of this model, as it can sum up all considered elements of
respective steps and can also help to provide ideas through which it can be improved by an
individuals, along with time period (Kong and et. al., 2021) .

Action plan
According to me, the action plan is embedded with number of intervention that I will
consider while addressing my own skills. The strength that I already have, it will foster them by
practising it more in a effective way. The communication skills that I have, it can foster by daily
practising with patients. I will also try to speak in a normal and simple language so that it will
help me to explain the root cause of problem and associated interventions more, in a effective
manner. Other skills such as skills with management will be enhanced, by making them in a
habit. I have achieved opportunities to analyse my weaknesses, that I can minimized by attaining
knowledge and also training if it is required. In which three ways that can help to improve my
future practice are as follows:
Completion and Update Physiology management plan
The Completion and Update Physiology management plan are determined to provide
effective skills that can be helpful for an individual or the recovery (Houand et. al., 2019). I will
formulate plan that can help me to improvise my future practice and can facilitate me to organise
my work as physiotherapist. It will also help me reduce work stress and also it can also a
essential part of management skills. The management plan can also assist me, in managing my
task that are required to be in systematic manner as well
Time Management Skills
The time management skills will be conquered by me, with the aid of time management
courses (Kong and et. al., 2021) . While in my future practice, this will provide me manage and
accomplish my given work on time and also will help me manage my workplace setting in a
effective manner. It can also help me to while assistance, with the help of this skill, I can spare
my time with each individual and also will be able to address their problems in a efficient
manner. Time management skills can also help me to be organised, in my profession, there is
high requirement to be organised.
Long time Goals as MDT approach

While doing self analysis with help of SWOT analyses, I have discovered my one of the
major weaknesses was long time goals. I always think for long time goals for individuals, whom
I will be assisting, as it can provide a understanding that I have work on. I have attained learning
tat in the profession of physiotherapist there are number of therapies for joint diseases such as
sclerosis that needs require time and require time, but in terms of conducting positive outcomes
for individuals, I always consider about intervention that can place but can work on a individual
if it is achieved for long time period. (Hargreaves and Page, 2013) In order to eliminate this
weakness, I will be requiring a clear and effective training from my senior in future, so that they
can help to assist patients, while taking their decisions in respect to their treatment process in my
future practice. Also, the effective training can also help with clearing remaining doubts in
regards with my profession which can help me foster my future practice.
CONCLUSION
Overall, it has been concluded that SWOT analysation is effective procedure, which can
provide a clear understanding to an individual in regards with their strength, weakness,
opportunities as well as threats which can interrupt quality of services. This process can provide
ample of opportunities to improve by sorting each skills in to their subclass. While doing this
assessment, I have excited as it was interesting for me analyse my self-practice. Though this
assessment, I have learnt and foster my skills as they were compulsory for my future practice. I
have also discovered understanding of skills such as management skills, coordinating skills,
professionalism and also knowledge of roles and responsibilities of profession as physiotherapist
that can help me provide more effective in my future practice which can give best positive
outcome to an individuals.
