Training activity: 6

Details

Observe the manufacture of an indwelling ocular 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:
  • Material selection and evaluation
  • Intervention (conformers) prior to final prostheses manufacture
  • The application of simple surgical conformers in maintaining ocular volume
  • Treatment pathways
  • Infection control
  • Patient expectations
  • Patient centered care
  • Patient safety
  • Manufacture protocols and device risk assessment
  • Follow ups and recalls
