Training activity information
Details
Perform the following evoked potentials including latency and amplitude measurements for:
- Visual, including visual acuity
- Auditory, including auditory threshold
- Somatosensory, including sensory threshold
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Patient centred care and support
- SOPs
- Infection control policies
- Health and safety
- Patient safety and comfort
- Patient consent
- Changes to planned procedures
- Artefacts and troubleshooting
- Pathological and non-pathological effects
- Quality measurements
- Documentation
- Professional conduct and limitations
- The recording and stimulus parameters for each evoked potential test
- Placement of recording and stimulating electrodes
- Range of stimulators
