Reflection on Learning Activity (include model of reflection e.g. Driscoll or Gibbs):
My academic Tutor emphasized the importance of British Values throughout the academic year most especially during my tri-partite review. The topic was revisited once more towards the end of the year. Familiarizing and understanding oneself with the principles encompassed within British Values is important for comprehensive education.
Understanding the British Values has enlightened me on the importance of being mindful of various aspects. Showing kindness towards others and acknowledging their beliefs are principles that I hold in high regard. In my cohort, there is a blend of different nationalities and religious background, and I have developed a sense of respect for their individual spaces and viewpoints. It is crucial to recognize someone that not everyone shares identical opinions or faiths, and I have learned to accept this diversity. Although disagreements may arise, it is essential to handle them with compassion and courtesy.
This understanding will assist me in my path as a trainee nursing associate to be conscientious when caring for individuals with diverse values and beliefs. This application aligns with the professional standards and behaviour set forth by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in order to become registered and qualified.
