During my initial observation, I basically jotted down everything I saw, feel and smell because I did not want to miss out any important details. As a result, my first observation was not concentrated. At the beginning, I thought I was pretty familiar with the things happening at the church because I was brought up Catholic. However, after I carefully did my observation the first time, I realized that I left out a lot of details in the past.

Staff were welcoming and, despite the organising of the observation taking a long time, the observation gave good insights in to patient experiences and leadership. I think the observation was useful to my partner and I, as it made us feel as if we now had a better insight in to patient experience and its effects on care. The experience itself was good; it was useful to gain that insight. One thing I did realise that was although we thought it went well, the insights we gained may not have been a true reflection of patient experience. To combat this, we could have asked more individuals to conduct the observations on various dates at various times.
