Introduction
This research project is intended to fundamentally reflect on the experience of an assistant client
in a medical services setting. The Gibbs reflective loop will be used as this is a traditional
reflection model. Meditation is of course beneficial. It is seen as a valuable approach for long-
term learning experts. On a daily basis, smart practice is the way to connect through and from a
meeting or action to gain a new understanding of oneself or a potential use. This strategy is seen
as a means of promoting the individual and experienced advancement of skilled and self-
employed specialists, in the long run by stimulating both the development of individuals and
experts. Dating back to 1988, Gibbs ’meditative circle consists of six levels of reflection that
allow the mirror to fully reflect on each of the actions or experiences. The model is unique in that
it incorporates information, actions, and emotions and suggests a reunion, which is not exactly
the same as Kolb's understanding model and, as a result therefore, the model is broader. a
adaptive approach to analyzing a situation in primary light to inform future changes.
Description
The event I was thinking about happened while I was being admitted to the oncology ward in my
first year of qualified nursing. We had an older client assistant on the ward who was hospitalized
due to a malignant stomach growth. When he appeared, we read his notes which revealed he had
crucial learning problems which mean he also had problems with oral communication. The main
areas of reflection are how I and several carers have used communication to simulate the patient
and show empathy, as well as how we have changed our perception to address needs
individually. A medical caretaker went into the ward with three members of the general public,
who saw the ward as part of an incentive action. By the time the medical assistant entered the
patient's closet, he instructed the individuals in terms of the audience that clients being assisted in
that sound were currently receiving radiotherapy treatment. After hearing the nurse's words, the
client assistant flipped over and started crying, screaming and banging his head against the whip:
an investment was needed; however, another medical assistant figured out how to shut up
somewhere by speaking in a relaxed way.

Feelings
Before the program took place, I made sure that the medical assistant showed the three people
from the wider society around the oncology department, as part of an action motivation measure.
At the time of the program, I had only been working in the oncology ward for six months, so I
still felt a little unsure about my position within the organization. In the end, I did not feel
confident or experienced enough to handle the current situation on my own. I feel that my
increased level of anxiety meant that I tried to intervene, but it is still certain that both my
partners and I should be between server mediation to ensure the patient was properly managed.
Also, I was very surprised when the attendant forgot to think about the client’s individual needs
for assistance during the ward visit, as the pity was not needed for both the care client and
individuals in the company as a whole.
Evaluation
In retrospect, there were big and awesome parts to the experience that required a broader
understanding of the care client experience and my role as an expert support within the oncology
team. My job was to provide real assessments and evaluate the client’s well-being that helped,
agree and guide treatment, recommend research and research center trials / read results, monitor
on treatment outcomes and offering help to patients - this is a memory that represents their
source. I feel that I have not fully fulfilled my responsibility. This duty was not to ensure the
complete confidentiality of the care client and to ensure that the medical assistant who was
showing individuals in the crowd around the ward was aware of the person’s matching problems
care and the incoming tension. Our inability to work together, share data and intervene before a
situation has worsened has shown a low level of coherence.
Analysis
According to the Nursing Times Boswell et al (2015), people with learning difficulties often
struggle to adapt to new situations, which means that there is a potential for difficult behavior
when they are dealing with something outside their usual field of knowledge. However, as
recommended by the Terry (2012), medical personnel should be aware of how to properly

connect with individuals with non-learning abilities and this can be aided by routine and
important reflections. Admission to the clinic requires specialists to receive feedback on patient
letters and preferences; addressing any potentially tainted feelings through conversation or by
allowing the patient to visit the ward to meet nurses (Grobbee & Hoes, 2014). Furthermore, daily
communication to patients with learning disabilities should include a holistic / global
consideration of patients in terms of patient compliance, linking both verbal and non-verbal
types. In this way, specialists should visually connect, watch and tune in, assign more
opportunities to the patient, be intuitive and open, remain patient, and sometimes, allow any
expert who may have experience with people with learning disabilities to focus on the patient
(Chandler & Shapiro, 2016).
MENCAP states that powerless communication (n.d) is the most recognized problem when
accessing medical care for people with learning difficulties. This can be supported by offering a
candidate the customer support to donate for their good and by providing data in a number of
ways, including visual. They add to this the idea that healthcare professionals should value
everyone equally, change their management to deal with different issues, and understand that
everyone will have different needs (Harper & Cole, 2012). Van Hees, Moyson & Roeyers (2015)
supports this in “The Code”, which states that all registered carers and maternity specialists
should adhere to routines experience that is: focus on individuals, use properly, protect safety
and promote obvious skill and confidence. As a result, the incident where another nurse did not
consider the patient's individual needs does not respect the understandable rules of the expert;
Finally, they did not notice when the patient was restless or distressed and coping calmly,
focused on promoting client success and using a range of specific verbal and non-verbal
techniques (Woodward, Webb & Prowse, 2007). Sympathy is one of the "6c" on display in 2012
- these are the qualities and practices that are seen as quality indicators of welfare and care
management - namely: care, empathy, ability, letters, strength of spirit and responsibility
(Segrott, McIvor & Green, 2006). The 6Cs distribute equal weight and should be part of the care
transport, ensuring that patients are in a consistent position in the middle of the adjustment
(Bromley et al 2015).

Conclusion
From this experience, I am currently more aware of the importance of being confident and using
rehabilitative skills gradually (and I don't feel I can't achieve something because of my situation
in the group or during involvement) if comparable situations arise at a later date. The experience
I have gained from this experience means that I am now more aware of the consequences of not
working quickly and the importance of working for the greater benefit of the patient, although
however, when this may require mental strength. Similarly, within the oncology ward, there
should be a stronger emphasis on the strong working links between medical service specialists,
in order to increase levels of coherence (Foster et al 2018).
Action Plan
Next, I intend to be more proactive in handling a situation with little consideration for my work
within the organization or level of involvement; this includes managing a targeted client for
assistance, ensuring data is provided to relevant staff, and intervening when I accept that this is a
risk to your supporter's mental well-being or success. Also, I will address the needs and change
the way I care for a patient with a learning disability later by promising to use the different
lettering methods and try to do some research. -Free on their specific requirements; the data I can
use in my nursing practice.
I will not accept that staff people are aware on a regular basis or aware of individual needs or
potential clients for help, and I will not accept that there will be a difference that staff people
always work fully capable. I will continue to do the usual conscious work on it, using the
continuous model suggested by Gibbs (1988). I also intend to reliably and uniquely implement
the standards and characteristics of the National Nursing League, identifying with the individual
needs of administrative clients, namely:
Respect the respect and integrity of each individual without conditions or limitations.
Determine the uniqueness and diversity between individuals, their thoughts, characteristics and
identities. (Public League for Custody, 2017, n.d).

These are supported by the National Health Service (NHS), which was formed by the idea that
quality medical care should be accessible to all and should meet everyone's needs.
