While this book suggests that 'if reflective practice and quality improvement are to go hand-in-hand, then neither should be forced or contrived', it also supports the view that there should be 'some structure and guidance if it is to be critical and bring about positive change'. The book covers what is meant by reflection, the reflective team, reflection to support safe working within a culture of 'safety', and building on reflective practice.
