Training activity information
Details
Draft written reports for upper gastrointestinal physiology investigations, recommending follow-up\additional investigation, including:
- High resolution oesophageal manometry
- 24-hour ambulatory pH studies.
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
- Patient centred care and support
- National and local protocol for reporting upper gastrointestinal investigations
- Quality assurance
- Report unplanned events
- Chicago classification and clinical questions
- Scope of practice
- Documentation and record keeping
- Limitations of tests including artefacts
- Referral pathways
- Multidisciplinary team working
- Urgent findings
- Reflective practice
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 2 |
Outcome
Identify the requirements for upper gastrointestinal investigations in a range of patients with different conditions, adapting the procedure to answer the specific question while taking the patients’ needs into account. |
| # 6 |
Outcome
Analyse and interpret data to produce preliminary reports for high-resolution oesophageal manometry and 24-hour ambulatory oesophageal pH monitoring, differentiating between artefact and physiological occurrences. |
