Training activity information
Details
Clean the environment and equipment following anorectal physiology investigations and endoanal ultrasound scanning
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Local infection control training, policies and procedures
- Guidelines for cleaning endoanal ultrasound scanners and anorectal manometry catheters after use
- Local requirements for completing cleaning records for audit purposes.
- The principles behind the requirement of thorough cleaning between appointments.
- The effect of patient infection status on appointment allocation within a list (e.g., immunocompromised patients or patients with a communicable infection)
