An occupational therapist sought to change the delivery format of fatigue management for clients with neurological conditions and the opportunity to focus on this came as part of an independent supported study post-graduate module. Before exploring the research, the assumption was that group work would be more effective with the benefits of peer support as this had been observed in practice. Beginning with a question from practice to answer, Louise set about searching the evidence base using databases and Google Scholar. During the process she was concerned that she was looking for something that was not there or that she had asked the wrong question. Perseverance led Louise to key literature that she appraised and ultimately reflected upon, about how to implement the key outcomes to inform her clinical reasoning. Louise was reflexive as the outcomes challenged her assumptions and reinforced personal and professional values of taking an individual approach as ‘one size does not fit all’ in terms of group or individual fatigue management interventions. Exploring this topic also led on to sharing that work and attending further study to improve on the content of the intervention.
