title: Using personal profiles in reflective practice.
abstract: When health-care professionals learn from experience it is quite a different process from that of learning from books or lectures. By recording significant events you can use your experience to learn faster and more effectively. A significant event requires careful recall of the facts and imaginative reflection upon them. Significant events also lend themselves to use in clinical audit and supervision.
