Abstract

This article outlines the results of a scoping exercise performed utilising an on-line questionnaire to gauge the breadth of reflective practice activity within the healthcare chaplaincy community in Scotland (those working 18.5 hours or more per week). The findings are thematically explored and some proposals for training, education and its evaluation are made.
