Training activity: 3

Details

Select the appropriate ophthalmic imaging for patients presenting with:

• Retinal disease
• Post-retinal disease

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

• Patient centred care and support
• Interpretation of electrophysiological findings
• Anatomy of visual pathway
• Pathophysiology
• Factors influencing the choice of technology for investigating vision and ophthalmic disorders/disease
• Range of diagnostic tests
• Patient referral
• Patient history
• Patient experience
• Local, national and international guidelines
• Patient pathways
