Supervised Practical Clinical Day
Day 5
This final day reflects the NHS Long Term Plan’s emphasis on high-quality frontline care and learning embedded in practice.
There will be 2 trainers present on the last day so each person can be supervised and competence assessed. The trainers will ensure the theoretical learning is translated to practical application.
Learners will:
1. Work with real patients (ABHG will organise this (with informed consent). If this is not possible then there will be practice on each other with agreed participation and consent.
2. Practise communication, consultation, and clinical skills
3. Apply learning under clinical supervision
4. Demonstrate safe, compassionate, and person-centred care
