REFLECTIVE DIARY

What: This is the description and self-awareness level, and all questions start with the word what.
What have I learnt? What did I hope to learn? What surprised me?
So What: This is the level of analysis and evaluation when we look deeper at what was behind the experience.
So what is the importance of this learning? So what have I learnt about this? So what was different from what I knew previously?
Now What: This is the level of synthesis. Here we build on the previous levels these questions to enable us to consider alternative courses of action and choose what we are going to do next.
Now what can I do? Now what do I need to do? Now what might I do to improve or enhance the care I give to my patients? Now what might be the consequence of this action?
