Training activity information
Details
Analyse the accuracy and clinical relevance of output measurements, for both:
- Non-coherent optical radiation sources
- Coherent optical radiation sources
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
- Clinical treatment protocols
- Coherent and non-coherent treatment equipment
- Patch testing for phototherapy
- Selection of detector for dosimetry
- National standards for calibration
- Impact of variations of output on clinical outcomes
- Range of outputs
- Uncertainties in measurements
- Limitations of equipment
