Training activity information

Details

Shadow a Reconstructive Scientist/Maxillofacial Prosthetist when attending a craniofacial and orthognathic clinic and reflect on their role

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 complex, multifaceted role of a Reconstructive Scientist/ Maxillofacial Prosthetist
  • Consider the patient pathway and the role of Reconstructive Science in the patient pathway
  • Appreciate the complexity of the role and the main areas of work
  • Consider the context of the support provided and expert role of the Scientist
  • Appreciate the communication required of the role liaising with multiple professional groups
  • Professional relationship with the patient at early stage of treatment pathway
  • Reflect on the application of the principles of patient centered care
