title: Using action learning in reflective practice.
abstract: Action learning encourages individuals to use reflective processes such as group support and self-directed learning. A staff development programme for nurses in a neurology unit adopted this approach. Action learning groups were used by staff nurses for six months and were evaluated through interviews and questionnaires. Nurses had positive experiences as they developed their practice through the support of others.
