How do I create a reflection form in Horus?
Only foundation doctors/NTGs can create reflection forms in Horus. Supervisors and administrators can see shared reflection forms in foundation doctor/NTG portfolios.
To create a reflection form:
1. Select the 'Portfolio' and select 'Reflection' in the sub-menu.
(Alternatively, select the 'Forms (start new)' main menu item and select 'Reflection' in the 'Throughout each placement' section.)2. Any reflections previously created will be shown here. Select 'Start new form' to start a new reflection
3. Work through the form by completing the necessary fields
4. In order for a supervisor to see your reflection, you must share it by selecting 'Shared' for the last question in the form
- Shared reflections cannot be made private again. However, reflections can always be edited.
- You do not have to share your reflection straight away - you can keep it private until you are ready to share it.5. When you have completed the form select 'Save changes'
6. If all mandatory field have been completed, and you have chosen to keep your reflection private:
- a green confirmation box at the top shows your changes have been saved
- a purple box part-way down shows that the form can still be edited and has not been shared7. Select 'Make further changes' to edit the contents of your reflection (or to share it if it is currently private)
8. Select 'Close' in the top right hand corner to return to the 'Reflections' screen. The new reflection and whether it is shared will be shown.
