This article is the second in a two-part series describing the evidence base for Values Based Reflective Practice (VBRP®), as it is used within the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland (Bunniss, 2020). Here, the author discusses the conceptual underpinnings of VBRP®, considering the literature concerned with “soul and role” in professional education, and asks whether health and social care professionals seeking to rediscover the vocational hopefulness behind their working day might find some encouragement through this new reflective practice model. Qualitative evidence is presented from ten semi-structured interviews with a range of healthcare professionals who are using VBRP® in practice.
