Training activity: 8

Details

Observe the following upper gastrointestinal procedures and reflect on the process:

• Manometry
• 24-hour ambulatory study

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 the procedure, considering:
  • Infection control protocols
  • Principles for testing
  • Patient history
  • Patient experience and consent
  • Patient dignity
  • Communication
  • Investigation requirements
  • Risks of tests and mitigation
  • The application of the principles of patient centred care
  • Patient safety e.g., risk of test for patient with comorbidities or complex presentations
  • Documentation and record keeping
