Inter-Professional Working Reflection
This assignment will be a reflective, analytical commentary focusing on inter-professional workings. To include: the nurses role and contribution to the inter-professional team, demonstrate their valued skillset and knowledge, and the provision of holistic care they give to the patient in a clinical environment.
I will use ‘Gibbs’ reflective cycle (1998); enabling a structured framework for representing: events, feelings at the time, evaluating positive and negative aspects, my conclusion on the experience and thoughts on what I’d like to see done differently; finally my action plan for reflection. This will help in future clinical practise, as a student and a qualified nurse.

A job made easier through experience and time working within the multi discipline team.
As I’d spent time with Liz during my placement I was able to offer support during the meeting while the subject of Ben’s being turned off was discussed.
Negative factors:
The team had not provided enough time for Liz and the consultant during the meeting, this was insensitive and badly organised, definitely an area for improvement. In 2007 The Healthcare Commission highlighted that 54% of complaints received are bereavement related. Key areas of concern that were identified were related to poor communication. (Nursing Times, 2009) Analyse
During the meeting, we had Ben’s medical notes, which stated: Liz’s refusal to have Ben named as an organ donor. Key information, such as this, is paramount; the decision was made upon Ben’s admittance and not altered throughout. Losing sight of this information would have been detrimental to effective care, as normal procedure would have meant contact with the organ donation team after the ventilator was turned off(REF). DoH2008. This important detail was realised through good communication and comprehensive note keeping. NMC states all discussions made need to be documented clearly and accurately in the medical notes as soon as possible, to avoid missing important instruction. (NMC,
