Task requirements
For this task, you are required to identify two personal experiences of caring for an elderly person or a person with a long-term condition. These experiences may include patients from your recent clinical placement, employment, or your own family.
Each experience must include reflective analysis that demonstrates how your thinking or assumptions have been challenged, what deeper insights you have gained, and what questions have emerged from your reflections, and how you will apply this thinking to future professional and leadership roles. It is essential that your analysis reflects engagement with the academic literature.

You may include strategies for countering ageism, developing innovative approaches to and advocacy for community engagement.
Support your analysis with a minimum of 10 references from peer-reviewed journals and governmental websites from the last 5 years.
