Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

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

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

Considerations are suggestions about what may be useful for the trainee to think about while undertaking a training activity. They should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to demonstrate or provide evidence for each of the considerations listed.

Reflect on their roles, considering:

• Pressures of the role and resilience
• Prioritisation of duties
• Multi-tasking
• Relationships with patients
• Interpretation of results with reference to national guidance
• Value-added service
• Multidisciplinary team working
• Application of the principles of patient centred care
