Training activity: 5

Details

Produce descriptive clinical reports of ultrasound analysis or an extracranial arterial ultrasound scan

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

• Limitations of the scan or protocol
• Local, national and international guidelines
• Appropriate documentation, including consideration of diagrammatic reports
• Communication skills
• Acting on urgent findings
• Patient pathways
• Multidisciplinary team working
