can trust us. I have employed and interacted with patient to learn more about him. Present was
the main focus of our care help me in realising that each and every patient is unique and and
requires different type off care and there is also clearly identification about the need. I was
successful in completing the expectations which I have from myself and also from the team
members. Working as a team I found that my strength and the witnesses. There are many cases
where I received criticism for not being able to perform some task in appropriate manner (Sawan
2020).

Such type of criticism help me to learn in which I was not good at. There are conflict
between two of our team member that time every team member came to help and sort out the
issue. In this all the team member where is expected to get the feedback from the team leader
which helps us in an undefined the area where we need to work upon it. I have realised that I

There are many ways where are one way which is can be done by understanding the role
