Training activity information
Details
Perform high-resolution oesophageal manometry investigations
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 International, national and local standards and protocols for high-resolution oesophageal manometry
- National and local infection prevention and control policies
- Health and safety
- Equipment artefact recognition and troubleshooting
- Patient communication and monitoring
- Scope of practice and when to seek advice
- Cleaning equipment and environment after procedure including local policies of waste disposal
- Local and national health and safety regulations, potential risks and hazards, and actions necessary to minimise and resolve them
- Discharge information
- Process for notification of results and follow-up
- Physiological artefacts
- Patient safety
