Transformative Reflection for Practicing Physicians and Surgeons is addressed to physicians and surgeons but the principles upon which it rests would be valuable for members of any profession. The Transformative Reflective Process has been designed and, over many years, tested in everyday practice with medical practitioners. Its focus is to unpack and explore the decision-making and professional judgements that doctors use frequently in everyday practice. The intention of this is to promote the development and growth of practical wisdom in order to enhance the quality of patient care. Transformative Reflection can radically enlighten a medical professional's understanding of themselves, their detailed thinking, and the nuances of their practice. The process sharpens a doctor's acumen (their ability to make good judgements and take quick decisions) and enables them to articulate for themselves and develop further, the deepest elements of what characterises their practice. In this sense therefore, it offers truly worthwhile education. It also provides a means of sharing the complexity and special nature of medical practice with those both inside and outside medicine, who need to understand it better. It has the potential, we believe, when shared, to benefit society's understanding of what is involved inside medical practice and thus clarify what it is reasonable to expect from The NHS's human servants.

With the implementation of the foundation scheme, new assessments have been put in place to ensure that junior doctors have the skills and competencies necessary to progress to specialty training beyond the foundation years. The junior doctor is expected to produce evidence that they have acquired these skills. This evidence will be collected through work based assessments. Developing the Wise Doctor is essential reading for all junior doctors. Containing key issues about assessment, this book aims to address any concerns junior doctors might have and also offers valuable advice and helpful tips on how best to prepare for and approach each assessment. The recommendations made in this book will certainly maximise the potential of junior doctors in their foundation years and is a book they cannot afford to be without. It is also suitable for students, trainers and those requiring an overview of assessments.
