Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

  • The impact on patient care and service provision costs and resourcing
  • The patient role in driving/supporting innovation
  • Evidence-based care
  • Co-ordination of, and access to, services
  • Quality laws implementation in audiological services
  • Best practice principles
  • Consider telehealth, remote monitoring and auditory implants
