Assessment Tasks
Your assessment will be graded with either a Px(Satisfactory) or NYC(Not Satisfactory) according to the assessment guidelines in accordance with the training package elements and essential skills.
Your assessments tasks will consist of :
Word processed patient record report for every patient treated (Case Histories) A complete journal of experience in relation to outcomes of simulated practical training and clinical experience placement - All documents due no later than
Assessor: Zanne Frazer
Perform elements and performance criteria of competence as designated for this unit of competence to the required standard consistently across a range of variables during clinical placement. See critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit. Clinical Observation including ADODP Log Book
Report on try-in clinical experiences and procedures, materials, instruments and equipment.
Case Study – presentation patient
