Professional practice as a health and social care worker Ymarfer proffesiynol fel gweithiwr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol
The use of reflective practice in supervision and appraisal Y defnydd o ymarfer myfyriol wrth oruchwylio ac arfarnu

Reflective practice enables health and social care workers and their supervisors to reflect on practice that has taken place. This includes consideration of what has worked, whether best and/or recommended practice has been followed, shortfalls in the quality of provision and how they can be improved, and other areas for future professional development.

Including reflective practice in supervision helps the supervisor to know the supervisee better and gain insights into their experience of their role and responsibilities. This becomes key in planning workforce development, and in managing change. For both supervisor and supervisee, good reflective practice should highlight the needs of the individual being supported.

Mae ymarfer myfyriol yn galluogi gweithwyr iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol a'u goruchwylwyr i fyfyrio ar ymarfer sydd wedi digwydd. Mae hyn yn cynnwys ystyried beth sydd wedi gweithio, p'un a ddilynwyd yr ymarfer gorau a/neu'r ymarfer a argymhellwyd, diffygion o ran ansawdd y ddarpariaeth a sut y gellir eu gwella, a meysydd eraill ar gyfer datblygiad proffesiynol yn y dyfodol.

Mae cynnwys ymarfer myfyriol wrth oruchwylio yn helpu'r goruchwylydd i ddod i adnabod yr unigolyn dan sylw yn well ac i feithrin dealltwriaeth o'i brofiad mewn perthynas â'i rôl a'i gyfrifoldebau. Daw hyn yn allweddol wrth gynllunio datblygiad y gweithlu, ac wrth reoli newid. O safbwynt y goruchwylydd a'r unigolyn sy'n cael ei oruchwylio, dylai ymarfer myfyriol da dynnu sylw at anghenion yr unigolyn sy'n cael cymorth.
