Description of session managed:
The aim of this assessment is to enable the student to demonstrate
organisational skills that require reflection-in-action in order to respond
effectively to changing priorities.
The student should, therefore, be asked to take responsibility for an area
where the work-load can vary within the time-frame of the session and where
effective management is required to ensure high quality patient care and
efficient use of resources.
The student must also engage in the imaging of patients during the session.
The current clinical assessment marking criteria published at
http://newton.ex.ac.uk/handbook/RadCAC.html
must be used when completing this document.
