Reflective practice provides you and your team an opportunity to become aware of feelings associated with the work that you do and identify issues that you may have in common with your peers. It may help you to think differently about certain aspects of your work and to find solutions to some of the issues you face. In its simplest form, reflective practice enables you to think and reflect on the work that you do.  It is closely linked to the concept of learning from experience, in that you think about what you did and what happened, and how it has impacted you

‘Thinking about what has happened is part of being human. However, the difference between casual ‘thinking’ and ‘reflective practice’ is that reflective practice requires a conscious effort to think about events and develop insights into them’  - www.skillsyouneed.com
