Training activity information
Details
Produce accurate and concise technical/clinical reports for oesophageal manometry and pH-impedance investigations for a range of conditions
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
- Limitations of study performed
- Use of information obtained to provide more insightful technical/clinical report, including symptom association
- Documentation
- Reporting for non-technical audience
- Communication skills and language for reporting
- Diagnostic question
- Legislation
- Local, national and international guidelines for reporting
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 3 |
Outcome
Analyse and interpret the data producing complete reports for both high-resolution oesophageal manometry and oesophageal pH-impedance monitoring, making recommendations for subsequent management/treatment. |
| # 4 |
Outcome
Analyse and interpret the data producing preliminary reports from high-resolution manometry (HRM), differentiating between artefact and physiological occurrences. |
| # 6 |
Outcome
Employ effective communication skills to present information to a variety of audiences including patients, carers and healthcare professional colleagues. |
| # 7 |
Outcome
Interpret manometric patterns in the proximal oesophagus/crycopharynx and identify abnormalities, using knowledge from the wider multidisciplinary team. |
