Maybe those in the profession can elaborate, but she’s not actually writing reflections is she?

She’s writing ‘LD - initials’ sometimes resus . It’s a prompt to remind her of something significant. If she was innocent wouldn’t she be writing more detail and reflecting on the actual significant event ?

Imagine being a nurse on the unit seeing LL walking in with her hot pink jacket, holding her Morrisons bag, listening to a bit of Ellie Goulding on her iPod as she bashes out a few texts slagging off the skill mix and searches a few parents of recently discharged babies on FB.

Nurses have to revalidate and write reflections as part of that. I may write an outline of a situation but never use their names. At most maybe their initials.

I share a locker at work with another nurse and her side has quite a few handover sheets as she is rubbish at forgetting to put them in the bin. I know what I will be doing tomorrow as this has freaked me out.

ok I was tempted to go on Friday but it will probably be Ben all day if he’s only starting on baby A then.

Next week the two dates are 11-12 May. 11th I have a meeting I can’t change. So I’m tempted to go on 12th and hope to catch prosecution instead of defence.

I only really have one shot because of childcare. But technically I can go Friday or next week. So not sure which to do.

I’m actually quite glad we are only getting two days a week at the mo. I don’t think I can cope with the distraction if it was every single day!

What is a reflection? Surely long day and an initial isn’t a reflection?

Just thought she was organised enough to use a different colour pen in her diary depending on if it was work or not!

No it ideally is an outline of what happened, what you did , what you felt went well and what you would improve if the same situation happened again.

Reflections can take a bit of time to write. Nurses need to do them regularly, I did them as a preceptee then briefly after Adam Kay's first book cos I missed writing things down and had some good stories. Initials aren't a reflection, but some people might use it as a prompt to complete a full reflection later. I used to write the date, initials or room number and a couple of bullet points like 'seclusion' or 'ligature', intending to elaborate later.

I really hope there are some jurors with medical or nursing backgrounds.

I just don't get what the point of putting LL on the stand has been? She hasn't offered any groundbreaking explanations for what we've already discovered, and if anything has made it worse (which surely will only get more so when the pros get on to her). It's a huge risk for no gain, which makes me think she's gone against BM advice.

My RMN sister says they have to write 5 reflections for revalidation and it's so that they can identify any improvements or changes to their practice as a result of what they have learnt from different work events.

Sounds like good practice! Would have been good for Letby considering she was quite content with babies A-D being bad luck when there were lots of people quite concerned. Guess the initialling in her personal diary didn’t achieve much!
