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.

  • Reflect on the requirements to deliver patient centred care and support
  • Consider differential diagnostic investigations
  • Appreciate the treatment options and follow up
