Training activity information
Details
Observe surgery for the placement of craniofacial implants for retention of an auricular 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:
- The theatre environment and protocols
- Interaction of the multidisciplinary team
- Treatment planning and translation to theatre
- Implantable materials
- Ideal implant locations
- Anatomy
- How patient safety, dignity and confidentiality are maintained
- Briefings
- Specialist surgical trays/kit requirements
