Training activity information
Details
Observe routine quality assurance being undertaken
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
Considerations are suggestions about what may be useful for the trainee to think about while undertaking a training activity. They should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to demonstrate or provide evidence for each of the considerations listed.
- Consider the role of quality assurance in patient safety and ensuring quality of treatment
- Appreciate the requirements for safe operation of complex equipment and associated risks
- Consider the local rules for operation and safe working practices
- Consider the competency requirements for the person performing QA
