Training activity: 4

Details

Follow the patient pathway for patients with fractures involving the mandible, maxilla and middle third of the facial skeleton through treatment plan, design, manufacture and evaluation of custom medical devices, and reflect on the journey

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 journey, considering:
  • Assessment of multimodal imaging and analogue models
  • Laboratory reduction/repositioning of model analogues in planning
  • The range of custom-made devices
  • Manufacture protocols and device risk assessment
  • Adaption of reconstruction plates in complex cases
  • How patient safety, dignity and confidentiality are maintained
  • The application of the principles of patient centered care
  • The accessibility of care
