However, sceptics have questioned how the concept is sometimes interpreted, arguing that there is unclear logical and pragmatic examination of its value in professional development. Therefore, developing a reflective report is an undertaking that needs to be approached with caution, more so if individual reflection and critical thinking are to be rooted. The purpose of this reflective report is to reflect on the collaborative boat bus project performance and the experiences of working within a multidisciplinary group. The report will give consideration to the feedback we obtained from the client and from Adam Smith (tutor) and how we then applied this feedback to feed in the report writing. An iterative model, meaning learning through participating, somewhat adapted to the one in Bulman and Schultz (2013)’s ‘Reflective Practice in Nursing p232’, Gibbs (1988)’s reflective cycle explains the significance of the evaluation process, especially building on negative as well as positive feedback. Relying heavily on Gibbs’s reflective cycle and corresponding models, this individual seeks to reflect on the Nottingham boat bus project and analyse the utility of practical application of knowledge gained throughout the entire

Alongside the Gibbs theoretical model, this report will also consider the 4 stage experimental learning cycle (1984), by David Kolb. Theoretically, it is often confusing to distinguish evaluation and analysis as these variables seem to demand similar questions. However, the remainder steps description, feelings, conclusion and action plan tend to be statements of value, statements of summation and statements of rationale. So, correlating the two models will enhance the opportunity to reflect on the multidisciplinary nature of the collaborative consultancy, evaluating how we planned, organized tasks and roles and also ascertain what we could have done better. Most importantly, using a personal development plan, this individual will reflect on how the experience has enhanced research skills, written and oral communication, time management, working to deadlines, ability to work in a multidisciplinary environment productively and
