We recognise that this is a difficult time to try and gain relevant experience in healthcare. The NHS is focusing on dealing with the pandemic, outreach programs have been put on hold, and most paid employment opportunities have been stopped too. We hope this guidance will reassure applicants of the numerous ways in which they can develop the values, attitudes and behaviours essential to being a doctor, alongside learning what a career in medicine involves.

Reflecting means looking at an experience and asking questions; for example, why did that happen? Did that go well or badly? What were the factors that affected what happened? If this were to happen again, would I approach the situation differently? What are the wider implications/lessons to be learnt from your experiences?
Importantly, reflection is a way of finding out how a particular experience has changed your perception of how things work. It is also a way of finding out about yourself, including your skills and qualities, and what you would want from your future career. (Edublogs)
If you engage in any of the above, where you can, take notes so you can reflect back on these at a later date.
