Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Practicalities for the scientist and patient
- Motility patterns and landmarks
- Artefacts
- Optimise diagnostic value of procedure
- Need to adapt analysis
- Normal ranges
- Anatomy and physiology
- Diagnostic potential of procedures
- Classification systems
- Appropriate use of terminology
- Local, national and international guidelines for procedure specific interpretation
- Documentation and record keeping
- Limitations of the diagnostic investigation
