Far from compromising spontaneity, planning provides a structure and context for both teacher and students, as well as a framework for reflection and evaluation\u2019 (Spencer, 2003, p. 25).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Image of the day:<\/u><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2018\/07\/Picture1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8492 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2018\/07\/Picture1-194x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2018\/07\/Picture1-194x300.png 194w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2018\/07\/Picture1-662x1024.png 662w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/flie\/files\/2018\/07\/Picture1.png 754w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Reference:<\/p>\n<p>Spencer J (2003) Learning and teaching in the clinical environment.
