Training activity: 3

Details

Observe the design and manufacture of an adhesive, mechanical and anatomical retained auricular, orbital and nasal prosthesis, and reflect on the process

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

• Reflect on the process, considering:
  • Manufacturing techniques and materials, selections and evaluations
  • Retention options
  • Stages of patient treatment which may influence selection of prosthesis retention
  • The application of the principles of patient centered care
  • Individualised manufacture based on specific patient needs
  • Treatment pathways
  • Manufacture protocols
  • Patient safety and device risk assessment
  • Infection control
