Training activity: 4

Details

Observe a range of clinical ultrasound scans and reflect on the process

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Consider elements of the process, including:
  • Clinical application within the patient pathway
  • Patient preparation and positioning
  • Measurements taken during the scan and clinical relevance
  • Range of equipment, including specialist probes, controls and processing
  • Data capture, storage and transfer
  • Infection control
  • The provision of patient centred care and support
• Reflect on the ethics of image access, including patient confidentiality and information governance
