Training activity information
Details
Perform a range of electrophysiology tests and make recommendations for further testing to include:
- PERG
- VEP
- ERG
- EOG
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
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.
- Patient centred care and support
- Diagnostic testing and testing parameters
- Patient pathways and referrals
- Multidisciplinary team working, roles and responsibilities
- Local, national and international guidelines
- Patient safety
- Patient experience
- Quality assurance
- Patient consent
- Communication skills
- Anatomical source of signal
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 1 |
Outcome
Demonstrate a critical understanding of electrophysiological tests used in the diagnosis of visual disorders. |
| # 2 |
Outcome
Prepare and set up the test environment and patient for different electrophysiological tests. |
| # 3 |
Outcome
Perform recordings of the electrophysiological tests and perform basic troubleshooting. |
| # 4 |
Outcome
Prepare data obtained for reporting, including correct annotation of waveforms and indications of factors that may alter the ability to reliably report data. |
| # 5 |
Outcome
Identify and differentiate normal and abnormal waveforms produced during testing. |
| # 7 |
Outcome
Employ effective communication with a range of individuals including the patient and the multidisciplinary team. |
