For continues professional development, there was a situation when patient was seriously injured and
needed emergency treatment. In this situation, senior nursing staff was there. She was able to easily
manage this situation and not getting panick which is there in the critical situation. She had the
ability to handle the situation more easily and shows the leadership style through which she was able

The continuing professional development is used to provide various accessibility and
knowledge regarding the various outcomes. As per these the continuing professional
development enable the learning to become unconscious and proactive rather than the
passive and reactive this is well emphasizing that it's hard to provide the learning in the
conscious and provide activeness towards any issues which is better in the organisation or
any healthcare sector. As per this, in my concerns the accounting personality development
used to provide me various aspect of learning and provide me a balance sheet in order to
create for maintain the harmony of my life. This is a holistic commitment of professionals
toward the enhancement of their personal skills and this approach provides me and a
proficiency throughout my career this is provide me an opportunity to seek and create some
useful criteria in my life (Chan and et. al., 2019). The continuing professional development
is used to provide me every single aspect which is important and create the relevancy and
the essential part of my life. So, as for this, in my concerns the professional development is
an initial approach when you are joining any workplace organisation in order to achieve the
set target goal of the organisation because you know that the organisation growth and
development directly related to the own growth. As per this, the number of employees is
there and you try to interact with them and after what you know no your own abilities in
front of them and maybe if you have continuing professional development then you will also
able to take some of the approach which is required in order to take me a leadership style.
This leadership style help me in every aspect of situation or conflict which is arises in my
organisation. Moreover, it is also helped me to emphasis every condition which is an
essential for essential regards to the organisation of family its help me to provide some of
the balance and time management approach in my life the leadership is a quality which is
enable after a very hard work or approach which is essential and play a vital role in the life
as well as any workplace. The professional development which is continued in nature
provide me various factors and essentialities which is regarded in order to take the reviews
from the employees and also gain feedback from your team members. So, this help me to get
fresh and full of enthusiasm with our team members because they need support and I have

those capability in order to provide them support and take a hand to lift from the unfallen
situation which is create hindrance in the career of the development of professional approach
in me or with my team member (Hawkins and et. al., 2017).
In this, the continuing professional development is used to collaborate with the different
methodologies of learning such as training workshop, conference, and event, e learning,
program prospective, techniques, and ideas sharing all focus for the individual in order to
improve my personal development and make it effective as per the workplace or any
individual in this the methodologies which is required by me in every case as per the training
workforce is also show my efficiency is there because the training is a major approach when
you are willing lead to any job or any opportunities to grab (Trilaksono and et. al., 2019).
Then, you have to must follow some of the essential criteria which is belong with the
organisation and fulfil their needs as per provide it the effective and approachable training
from the organisation and put some of the efforts in order to provide growth and
development and some of the small contribution to the organisation in order to achieve their
set target goals and objective. This is the e-Learning program and best practices techniques
Idea sharing is an essential approach for the organisation in order to provide various relevant
theories which make and profitable and productivity with the organisation. The innovative
and creative scenarios in my concern is the best way to handle the average stress and provide
the essential matter which is creative in nature and can help the organisation to gain in the
new idea or the new product which is creative and innovative that help to create the
competitive advantage in the market. This is also employing the new idea is to be developed
in such a way for team member to eradicate the issue or any conflict which is faced by the
number of employees in any organisation this leadership approach in my concern is good
and beneficial for number of members who was working with me (Hibbert and et. al., 2017).
Usually, continuous professional development provides the easiest to identify in order to
attending any complaints going on a management courses or attending any duplication-
based approaches is also useful for me. Because, it's commonly provided me understanding
to understand the formal and informal development activities where as it is commonly
understood that in my recognition form of the continuing progression development are more
often lookup value of informal learning there are various research as per identified my me
the 10% of the learning come from the formal training. Whereas, some of the model
suggests that 20% learning is formulated from the working with others with the

collaborating and gaining some new factors from the team members in my can sense the
collaboration is always used to provide and receiving the feedback and also from
experiences. This is well analysed that there are various condition and experiment which is
provide a reflective approach towards the factor and also it enables the problem-solving
challenging task auditing reviewing this is a part of informal development, informal
development activities with me it helps me day to day work and also contribute towards my
development (Muthiani and et. al., 2019). This could be increasing my knowledge and
understanding for the research of a new project and also provide me a leadership quality to
take the responsibility of new budget or any new developing factor which is essential for any
interpersonal abilities it's also provide me a good communication skill with the situation a
transformation leadership style. Because, it helps to connect with my team members every
time in order to provide the solution of any conflict issue which is arises in them.
Moreover, this is well analysed that there are various conditions which is the appropriate and
provide me the relevancy in order to create the leadership style which is beneficial for me
and also put various advantage in the front of my career and in a college life. As per this, is
where identify that the conference and the seminars are the major event which is taken in the
deep concentration for taking the ethical consideration because its help to provide various
knowledge and sense of abilities and also helpful in providing the mental abilities which
may be cognitive social and emotional and so on. As per this, it all development are useful
in order to create the feedback and review for any work or any idea or any thought which I
used to share with my friends on my colleagues for their future or the goal of perspective
(Obeidat and et. al., 2018).
How did you change or improve your practice as a result?
Having analysed your observation (in the section above), will you change your practice in
the future? Did you learn anything about your own leadership style?
400 words
As analysing the observation, there is no need to change the practice in the future which is able to
help and provide better and effective outcome. situational leadership is the one which is able to
provide a better flexibility towards applying the leadership style on particular situation. This is able
to provide flexibility and attaining according to the situation for providing better outcome and can
lead to achieve the goal in effective way. This is the leadership in which leadership style is changed

according to the situation and able to direct effectively for providing better participation in the
activity in healthcare process (Paletta and et. al., 2017). This is able to provide better health and
social care to the person by using this leadership style and can encourage patient for better and
improved health. This leadership style is able to provide better and effective delegation and integrity
for team member that can lead to provide better and effective outcome. Due to using the situational
leadership style, this is able to provide high benefit within future and due to this, there is no need to
change the leadership style in the future. I have learned that there is high benefit of using the
leadership style. One of the most benefit is that, this leadership style is able to provide the flexibility
which can lead to direct as per the direction and situation which can impact in providing fundamental
idea for providing best type of leadership. delegation and courage to the others which can lead to
provide better strength and for High benefit in providing outcome. I have learned from the
transformational leadership which is curiosity and better communication with patients and others to
provide better and effective integration. This can lead to provide tolerance for risk and provide vision
for further and help in managing own-self in every panic situation in effect way. This is the one
which is able to provide first attitude towards team member that can make an effective team.
Transformational leadership style helps me to get simplicity and better vision which can help for
providing deal with each and every situation and inspire other employee for delivering effective and
better Healthcare services for improvement in health of patient. There are many other things which I
have learned through using my leadership style which has provided me continues personal
development for future (Sebastian and et. al., 2019).
How is this relevant to the Code?
Select one or more themes: Prioritise people – Practise effectively – Preserve safety –
Promote professionalism and trust

Within this section you need to discuss which of the four themes your observation related to.
For example: you may have observed a ward sister delegating staff to look after a person with
dementia. This would relate to preserving safety and practicing effectively. How did the leadership
style affect the delegation in relation to professionalism and trust? Your observation may relate to
all of the four themes or less.

I have observed that nursing staff is providing care to the person suffering from hypertension. This is
the one through which there is high need to provide better care to the patient with hypertension.

Nnursing staff need to priorityze the patient for providing better care which is due to having old age
and due to providing diuretics to the hypertension patient. This need to make him to use the
washroom many times. This lead to create irritation for the patient and nursing staff need to provide
in care by prioritise that patient for better delivery of services that could lead to provide better and
effective health care services (Simmons and et. al., 2019. Nnursing staff is able to practice
effectively that code help the nursing staff to delivering health care services in effective and efficient
method. This lead to provide better care for the patient with hypertension. Due to need to go
washroom because of diuretics as a medicine has been taken by the patient with hypertension. This
lead to make the patient continue run for washroom. Here, nursing staff need to provide better
practice and services which can provide better care to the patient. In this scenario situational
leadership style can help nursing staff to providing better direction to the patient for using the
washroom. It helps nursing staff to provide him care and not to get irritated and easily to conduct
according to situation. Transformational leadership help the nursing staff for better communicate
with patient for providing tolerance for risk and better attitude towards patient for delivering of
services and care. There is high benefit for providing better services by using the leadership style )
(Sousa and et. al., 2019).
Learning Reflective Account
Reflection 2 should focus on an episode where you have facilitated learning (50% of
module, 50% of grade).
For this account you will need to facilitate an episode of learning. This could be facilitating
learning with other members of the team or helping a patient to learn, for example
administering their own medications. At the beginning of your placement discuss this with
your practice supervisor or assessor so they can suggest opportunities for you within the
clinical area.

or experience in your practice?
In this section describe who you were helping to learn and what the activity was. You might
have done this, for example with a student, qualified nurse, health care assistant, patient, a

200 words
In this, I used to complete my continuing professional development and the practice related
feedback in the practices of healthcare where I used to manage five patients in one time.
This is a difficult task for me and activity also as per this the registered nurses and the
assistants are used to help me in learning the activity and also the activity was used to create
some standard quality in order to take the responsibilities of the 5 patients and provide them
effective and appropriate care for their health concerns is used (Matherson and et. al., 2017).
In this, as a student I was learning various aspect which is help me to out in the
understanding of creating strategies for that particular 5 patient and provide appropriate
intervention for their health outcomes. In this, the nursing staff and assistant of the health
care are used to provide me every single step in order to understand the criteria. Moreover, I
am very thankful to the nursing staff and health care assistant who teaches me every aspect
of standardization of providing the better quality to the patient. This is effective in the
healthcare settings to understand the consequences and complications of the patient. The
five patient who is dealing with any serious issues as per this with proper support I used to
complete my task in appropriate way (Wolf and et. al., 2019).
What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback and/or event or experience

in your practice?
Option One or Option Two
In this section you will need to discuss and critically analyse learning and teaching styles,
analyse your teaching style and discuss how the experience related to your accountability.
How did you facilitate learning, for example demonstration or verbal explanation? What
leadership skills did you use? Was your facilitation effective? How did you know this?
1100 words
As a student this is golden opportunity for me to understanding and evaluating the learning
approaches and also used to create the accountability for the teaching styles. In this, I used to
learn the standard operating procedures of the healthcare sector in visualising and analysing
the patient. Moreover, it is very important to make a diagnosis and treatment report in order
to know the patient's viability and the report history. As per this, the nursing staff and
assistant are used to provide me formation in order to learn and achieve the qualities which
is helpful and create me some teaching styles. In this, the teaching styles from the healthcare
sector is appropriate and provide me every single step which is necessary for me in learning
and creating the understanding regarding the various aspects of the health care. Moreover, it
is very device and sometime demise my moral ability but due to the appropriate learning and
self-motivating enhance my ability and mental balance (Stepanchenko and et. al., 2019). To
complete the task in appropriate way the experience and working in the healthcare sector is
very profitable and productive for me in order to gain some of the knowledge regarding the
clearing and making for happiness inside the healthcare sector. The patient is usually during
the number of problem and I have to manage five patients in the healthcare sector. So, this is
challenging for me and I gain experience which is based on the various factors such as I
used to learn about the management of the patient proper medication of the patient treatment
and diagnosis of the patient used to interpret the test reports and appropriate functions of the
different organs of the body and also, I used to manage the ethical consideration in that
particular workplace.
My personal experience while doing this job for taking this responsibility is provide me a
self-confidence and self-esteem as a student to manage all the activities of in healthcare

sector is appropriate and provide me some of the functional used in my condition. In my
personal used in healthcare sector is usually involved with the lifesaving achievements
where they used to contribute their hundred percent in order to save the life of others. In this,
I used to manage five patient which is assigned by my health care assistant for the nursing
care in order to make the appropriate health regulations while monitoring and analysing the
circumstances. In this, my experience is also developed the professional use where I used to
work as a professional to manage the activities and I play a very decent role and
responsibilities for that the personal development. In that which I filled is to manage and
holding the responsibilities for the long and providing accurate and appropriate healthcare
Nourishment to that patient overcoming from that health issues. The professional
development is usually based on this which help me to understand the consequences and
complications and after that this help me to provide some of the decision-making power that
enables some of the activities such as, I experienced the quick decision-making property and
some kind of behaviour and attribute which I have do not but I used to gain from that
particular situation. So, this is my personal experience and professional experience regarding
with the healthcare sectors which I gained from my workplace is much helpful for my future
attributes and for the career development (Wilson and et. al., 2017).
In this, I used to explain some of the burning with a loan from the healthcare sector. As per
this, as well I used to learn various aspect of health care models and theories in this I used to
explain with the help of example where are used to work at first, I used to take five patients
to manage and provide the effective therapeutic effect by providing medication and
treatment. In order to this, the learning which I observe and came from that particular task
which is assigned by my healthcare supports. In this, I used to learn basically to complete
the role and responsibilities and manage the work process and also a time management in
order to this there is 5 patients who are facing various situations which are associated with
this is difficult for me to provide same care at the same time. In this, I used to balance the
work by using the time management model and this it plays a vital role in order to provide
me learning (Callaghan and et. al., 2018). There is various task and work which I used to
play. In this, I am delivering medication and others management for the patient after that it I
used to deliver other information to another patient and so on. This is challenging for me and
also provide me a learning to manage the time in order to this it's also help me to develop the
interpersonal skills while doing this kind of activity this is appropriate and provide me some
knowledge it is very necessary before providing medication or any treatment the

communication is usually created between the patient and the service provider. In this, I am
working as a service provider so it is necessary to take some understanding of the patient
complications by making interaction which is positive and polite. As per this, I used to
create the positive interaction phase which help me to understand the complexity of the
patient and their complications and also some of the anatomy factor which is faced by
patient from the longer period. In this, I usually do some of the coordination and teamwork
with the various departments to provide the effective and efficient clear which is based on
the standard operating procedures (Cappella and et. al., 2019).
How did you change or improve your practice as a result?
Option One or Option Two
On reflection of your learning facilitation, what do you think you did well? Was there
anything you would like to improve?
400 words
During their learning facility are used to learn about various aspect of management time
management balancing of time (Mardapi and et. al., 2018). Moreover, some of the aspects of
providing the care it is very important to understand the condition and situation of any
individual who is facing a dealing with consequences with their health concerns. In this, I
used to learn about various factors and perspective which is based on the positive and
negative attribute. In this, the main core which is developed inside me to provided
appropriate and functional environmental health care the positive attribute during delivering
of standard of care is create a positive impact in the health and their services. However,
some time the condition is become unidirectional and create various hindrance but after all a
proper decision making and appropriate functions of the environment which is the reliable
and directly linked with the positive or condition help you to take the support from your
senior and supervisor in order to take any decision (Spencer and et. al., 2018). I perform
very well in providing the care and managing the patient who is a sign for care. In this, some
of the improvement area which I need it is to create the patience inside me to control the
situation and I am do not panic every time whenever I used to deliver any care for any
medication to the patient. The dealing with the critical situation I used to become panic so I

want to improve that area which is create me patience which help me to give a proper
decision making for this.
How is this relevant to the Code?
Select one or more themes: Prioritise people – Practise effectively – Preserve safety –
Promote professionalism and trust.
Option One
Within this section you will need to relate your facilitation to the four NMC themes and state
why. This will depend on the learning experience. For example, if you had taught and then
demonstrated how to use a sliding sheet in practice, this would relate to practising effectively
and preserving safety. It would also relate to prioritising people and promoting
professionalism and trust. Depending on your facilitation, it may relate to all four themes of
the Code or less.
300 words
In this context, it is totally depending on the facilitation which is provided in the healthcare
sector usually with my views point the NMC things which is a state that prioritise people
practice effectively reserve safety and promote professionalism interest (Banegas and et. al.,
2020). In this, I used to work ok and to complete my task which is given my supervisor in
order to complete this. The NMC themes is also involved in this as per this I have used to
care 5 patient and in this I used to take proper care by providing medication and properties.
So, as per this, I used to prioritise the people which is stated by NMC theme. Moreover, in
this the standard quality is given to the patient to overcome from that particular health
disease. In this, I used to do work with my effective and appropriate manner in order to
achieve the outcome which I used to set for my objective in order to this the practice is done
in efficient way and it fulfil the theme of NMC. Moreover, this is also complying at I used to
maintain the safety by providing proper medication and diagnose for that particular patient.
However, it is difficult and challenging for me to understand the complications but with a
proper communication and interaction with the patient used to know the consequences and

as according to that I co-ordinate with the various pharmacist and provide better quality of
care and medication to the patient. As per this, all consideration is become useful and
provide the proper trust and also it helps to provide me professionalism which I used to
work for in this the continuing professional development is achieved in a proper way (Sato
and et. al., 2018).
