This is an interesting and easy to read paper which describes how reflective practice is currently conceptualised and interpreted by practising physiotherapists and undergraduate physiotherapy students. The author uses qualitative interviews and workshops to gather information and highlights “both contextual differences in patterns of reflection among practitioners and practical differences in modes of reflection of practitioners and students.” Lynn Clouder interviews neurophysiotherapists and comments on their reflective practice being “rich with sensory input gained from observation, listening and touch”. Reflection in action was used in the speciality of neurology where more time was spent with the patient often over a protracted period of time.
