Providing the students previous experiences cover a range of dogs (as suggested), the student should avoid logging any more dogs, and focus solely on cats. In making the decision regarding student competence, the clinical coach will then liaise with the relevant witness(es) and reach a decision regarding overall task competence which should then be recorded in their decision of competence. Do witnesses need to write up formal witness statements? This was my 1 st jugular blood sample on a cat. I managed OK, but I need more practice in knowing where to clip, as I initially clipped in the wrong place
I have just started monitoring anaesthetics and was really nervous. There were no problems with the anaesthetic (ASA risk 1) and the vet was really helpful in giving me some hints and tips. I am looking forward to monitoring more anaesthetics over the coming week. Don’t forget a case reference number as there must be a means of auditing your experience to prove it actually happened.We offer classroom courses, e-learning or a combination of both (blended). You can attend courses, which run all over the country, or we can come to you. Whilst this new version of the NPL contains a reduced number of tasks, the actual requirements for completing some tasks are quite considerable. In our experience students can find this confusing, so guidance from the clinical coach regarding task expectations, (based on the case load in your practice) may need to be clarified.
The student’s subsequent experiences should include limbs / spines and any other gaps in anatomical positioning. The inclusion of different thorax / abdomen positions could also prove valuable. There is no requirement to repeat log lateral chest / abdomen x-rays. Where this occurs, it would be really useful for the clinical coach to write a comment at the end of placement, noting the student’s progress.Students will have had practical tutorials in basic experience relating to these tasks. For example, students will have been taught how to set up IV fluids, but will not have covered placing an IV cannula. I feel very confident dealing with most clients face to face, but I still struggle with clients that are visibly upset or angry. I need more practice with this. In logging their experiences, the student should note either in their case description or reflective comments the name of the witness(es) used. As well as introducing the new professional behaviour assessment tool, it has been agreed that the practical placement hours requirement would be reduced from 2,100 to 1,800, calculated as 35 hours per week over one year, and would therefore comply with current HMRC National Minimum Wage requirements.
Operating remotely and working from home has become a new reality for many and employers, employees and students alike are all looking for ways to adapt. As the UK’s National Measurement Institute, NPL has always played a leading role in providing training in measurement science – an essential skill for the current and future workforce. There is no requirement for the student to log any more experiences of using a wet floor sign. The student should focus on other H+S tasks / legislation The student does not need to log anymore experiences for disposing of anatomical waste. Focus should be on disposing of a variety of other different types of waste, not yet covered. There is no requirement for the student to log any more experiences of performing TPR on anesthetised patients; focus should be on conscious and more challenging patients. The clinical coach should be making the decision as to who are appropriately qualified witnesses for supporting the student in any given skill. This will likely include utilisation of staff with particular expertise, for example:It is usual that during the course of NPL completion, there are some tasks which students will struggle to gain experience in because cases are few and far between. A typical example would be first aid cases.
