Evidence requirements

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

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.

  • Communication with the patient and carers considering patient needs
  • Local sociodemographic factors
  • Application of the principles of patient centred care
  • Drug interactions
  • Patient management
  • Patient referrals
