Training activity: 13

Details

Lead an assessment and discuss with the individual patient their requirements and expectation for a remake of an orbital prosthesis

Plan, design and manufacture the final prosthesis including the ocular component and provide aftercare support based on their individual concerns, prognosis and their individual requirements

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
• Information requirements to complete the device
• Design requirements and options related to anatomical structures
• Psychological and functional nature of the deformity and its impact on the patient
• Device design, material selection and manufacture custom medical devices
• Manufacture protocols and device risk assessment
• Patient expectations and experience in a remake situation
• Clinical fitting procedure
• Care and use instructions
• Long-term treatment plan
• Options to camouflage prosthesis in the midface
• Communication with the patient and family/carers
• Impact of plan/design on patient quality of life
• Patient safety, dignity and confidentiality
• Complications and onward referral
