Good reflective writing examples for portfolio?

Question

My reflections keep getting flagged as "too descriptive". Anyone willing to share what good reflection looks like?

Dr. Sofia Martinez · Answer

A good reflection isn't just 'what happened'. Show what you learned, what you would do differently, and how it changed your practice.

Dr. Karthik Rao · Answer

Use a simple structure: description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan. It keeps GMC reviewers happy.

Dr. Amina Bello · Answer

Don't write about a perfect case. Write about a case where something went wrong and you improved. That's what assessors want to see.
