title: Developing a reflective standard of care.
abstract: Developing and monitoring effective practice is essential in health care organisations. Reflective practice offers practitioners and organisations a means to understand and learn through experience in complex care situations and develop expertise. This paper describes standard-setting in a hospice to construct a standard for managing patients who exhibit aggressive behaviour as part of their terminal illness.
