An essential handbook for all students and professionals working in health and social care who have to complete a personal profile or portfolio, this thoroughly revised, re-written and updated edition has been expanded to include social care as well as nursing, and covers a subject which is now compulsory for pre-qualifying students as well as a statutory requirement for all health and social care professionals. The authors assume no prior knowledge of the subject, use a practical, step-by-step approach and cover a wide range of topics relating to constructing a profile.

Contents include:

  • Introduction;

  • Profiles and portfolios in healthcare;

  • Profiles and portfolios in social care;

  • Getting to grips with the terminology;

  • Some common themes and questions shared;

  • Getting started;

  • Profiles and reflective practice;

  • Making your learning count;

  • Helping others to develop a profile: the skills of facilitation; and

  • Further resources and reading.
