Training activity information

Details

Observe the collection of a physiological signal, and reflect on the process

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

  • Consider the communication and interaction with the patient in the clinical environment
  • Reflect on the provision of patient centred care and support
  • Reflect on the specification of the device used
  • Consider how the signal was acquired and signal conditioning applied including artifacts and display of the information
