Training activity: 15

Details

Resolve a patient issue with a prosthesis. Plan design and manufacture a new improved definitive prosthesis. Collect patient feedback on the innovations at a follow up clinic and critically evaluate your definitive prosthesis

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

• Patient centred care and support
• The role of patient feedback on developing long-term treatment
• Development of a professional relationship with these long-term patients
• Empathetic communication
• Patient safety, dignity and confidentiality
• The aetiology of the defect and common presentation
• Using residual anatomy
• Information requirements to complete the device
• Design requirements and options of retention available for anatomical structures
• Materials selection
• Device impact on the patient outcome
• Constraints for the device
• Patient requirements relative to the reconstruction
• Communication with the patient and family/carers
• Communication with the multidisciplinary team
• Quality assurance procedures
• Impact of plan/design on patient quality of life
