ABSTRACT

This article aims to present a doctor-patient relationship using a reflective Gibb’s model (learning by concept). Reflective practice can help us progress in our career and if done properly in a structured manner, it can help improve our skills. Being a dermatology doctor for many years with profound experience gave me the insights and the privileges, to spot dermatology patients’ main issues and concerns to address them attentively. Using the reflective process enabled me to explore my feelings and the experience, in discussing personal issues with this young lady I am presenting. I used the Gibb’s six-stage reflective model to understand how this young lady was feeling for a quite long time with a hole in her chin. This can be used to answer specific, patient-orientated questions that arise recurrently in real-life practice

I will use a nickname; Erynas, to anonymise and comply with confidentiality, without stating the location, timing and date, to identify my patient and present her case.

Keywords: Reflection, reflective process, career, skills.
