Reflection is always purposeful toward realising expert practice. Yet how might expertise be recognised? Using a narrative approach, Benner, Tanner and Chesta (Expertise in nursing practice. Springer Publishing, New York, 1996) explicated a model of expertise that offers the practitioner a useful framework to reflect on their expertise which I do using my own narrative of dwelling with Alison, given that expert practice must be the concern of every practitioner.
