Training activity information
Details
Observe the communication of benefits and risks of radiation exposure to patients, and reflect on the discussion
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 the ethical implications of radiation exposure
- Consider the informed consent process
- Reflect on the communication with the patient and language used
- Appreciate the methods for quantifying risk and radiation dose estimates
- Reflect on special considerations required for patients’ groups
- Consider the implementation of legislation and guidance to maintain patient safety
