Good reflection is a skill, not a blank text box. ReflectMed mentors you through it — asking the questions a good supervisor would, shaping your own answers into Horus entries, and keeping your whole year's evidence on track for ARCP.
Free to start. £12.99 a year. Built by a foundation doctor, for foundation doctors.
The problem
Foundation life moves fast. There is rarely a quiet moment to sit down and write a structured reflection. By the time you do, the details have faded.
A blank text box and a vague prompt to “reflect on your learning” is not enough. Most doctors know what happened, but they don’t know how to frame it for a portfolio.
Manually working out which curriculum codes apply to an encounter, and writing a justification for each one, is slow and easy to get wrong.
How it works
01 · Input
Two or three sentences about what happened. Type it, or dictate it on the walk back from the ward. No structuring needed yet.
“25F, new AF and SOB. FY1 on-call. Started sepsis six, escalated to SpR for rate vs rhythm decision.”
02 · Reflect
Field-specific questions that draw out your real experience, not generic AI cues. You answer in your own words.
“Led the sepsis six myself, fluids and antibiotics within the hour, then escalated — think that was the right call.”
“Rate vs rhythm, I wasn’t sure. Called my SpR but hadn’t framed the question well before I did.”
03 · Output
A Horus-ready reflection built from what you wrote, not AI-generated filler.
“I led the initial sepsis assessment and escalated appropriately, though in retrospect I could have framed the rate vs rhythm question more precisely before involving my SpR...”
FPC coverage · FY1
The difference
Every reflection and SLE you log maps to the 13 Foundation Professional Capabilities — the FPCs your ARCP panel scores you against. ReflectMed tracks your coverage, SLE-type variety and the mandatory checklist, split by FY1 and FY2, so you can fix what's missing while there's still time.
Built for the pace of Foundation life. From case summary to structured reflection in under two minutes.
Your insight, your words, shaped into something meaningful. ReflectMed structures your thinking, not your experience.
Outputs are formatted for Horus, with FPC and HLO tags suggested for you to confirm with your supervisor.
Save a case in seconds mid-shift and finish it later. Captures are free and never count against your reflection limit.
The questions every doctor asks before typing anything about a patient into an app.
