After your next Clinitalk session, take a few mins to explore the feedback properly!
— pause and think first! What do YOU think went well? What would you do differently? This isn't just good practice — cognitive neuroscience tells us that the act of retrieving and reflecting on our own experiences first actually strengthens neural pathways and enhances neuroplasticity. In other words, your brain literally grows through the struggle of thinking it through yourself — BEFORE you see what the AI says!
— what resonates? What feels like it missed the context of your patient? Your instincts matter!
— if it flags something, dig deeper! I tried it today with a real example. I had a patient with multiple problems and an 18 min consultation already running. Clinitalk suggested I should have signposted stress management. I used Ask AI: "This was a time-limited consultation with several problems — how might I have suggested stress management?"
It came back with some really practical ideas — acknowledging the stress explicitly, a brief signpost to local wellbeing services, or simply asking: "Would it be helpful to discuss some ways to manage your stress, or would you prefer to focus on your physical symptoms today?"
Now — I had actually planned to cover the stress at her follow-up, so I'd made a clinical judgement the AI didn't know about! But it was still a really useful prompt to reflect on 🙂 Bring these kinds of conversations to your trainer — it makes for great discussion!
— use these as prompts for your reflective log, but write the log yourself. The thinking is the point! It's YOUR brain making the connections that build real clinical learning 🧠
— your reflection is where the learning happens 🙌
