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 interaction and communication of the Clinical Engineer with the patient/client to translate their requirements into a specification
  • Consider the requirements for in-house manufacturing including:
    • Quality management systems & technical files
    • Compliance with Medical Device Regulations
    • Risk assessments
    • Verification and validation
    • Ongoing surveillance and monitoring
