What was the nature of the CPD activity and/or practice-related feedback and/or event or experience in your practice?

I reflected upon my practice of maternity week. During this week we went over some situations that a vulnerable pregnant woman going through domestic abuse, there was a play, and we had a chance where we got to pause the play and changes things around when the the action and communication did not seem right to us, this was in the morning. During the afternoon we had infant feeding and sepsis presentation, during this session we; learnt how to feed an infant and the important of breastfeeding. The sepsis section we had a rapid-fire game where we had question to answer in teams.

What did you learn from the CPD activity and/or feedback and/or event or experience in your practice?

On reflection I felt that I dealt with the play situation in a very calm and professional manner. I feel that I was able to communicate and put my ideas forward. I had to work in teamworks for the second section of the session. It is very important work in a team because in a team you get to share information or knowledge that you have. As Nurse it was very nice to learn that some situations and knowledge of midwifery, as a child nurse it very important to know about the mother of the baby. Improving the knowledge about sepsis is also good because it has made me more aware about the symptoms of sepsis.

How did you change or improve your practice as a result

I realised how important it is to communicate with other people in a team, to understand a certain situation, discussing a situation with the colleagues let you look at the bigger picture. Also, I feel like my management skills and, I think going back home and going over learning more of the knowledge that you gained in very important as it expands your knowledge of certain diseases such as sepsis, because it is a Very dangerous infection.

How is this relevant to the Code? 

Select one or more themes: Prioritise people – Practise effectively – Preserve safety – Promote professionalism and trust

Having teamwork and and communicate in steam is relevant to the code because it promotes good teamwork and effective outcome for the patients you are going to assess in the future.  This was achieved by communicate with my peers when were put into groups for a presentation, we had to be very wise and relevant to the topic we have chosen and to make sure that everyone was okay with the topic. If a peer could not do or had difficulty in doing an area, we would communicate and help each other out.
