Clinical Coach Standardisation Meeting August 2011
Aims • Define Practical Skills • How can practical skills be learnt? • How can practical skills be taught • Why is assessment important? • How can this be done in a robust way?
What are practical skills? • Doing! • BUT • Require underpinning knowledge & understanding • Require ability to perform a dextrous task • Can be simple or complex • May require fine or gross motor skills • Acquisition is a life long process: • child adult
Practical Skills in Veterinary Nursing • Technical • Animal care and welfare • First Aid • Preparation & administration of medication • Diagnostic procedures • Clinical Care Procedures • Equipment prep & maintenance Professional Communication Team Working Teaching Conduct Business Staff Management Stock Control Reception Duties Payments Estimates Health & Safety
Psychomotor • (Practical Skills) Blooms Taxonomy • Imitation • Manipulation • Precision • Articulation • Naturalisation
Skill Aquisition • Dreyfus (1980) proposed a model of how to acquire skills • Applied to nursing by Benner (1984) • Progressive level of skill based on experience
Conscious Competence Model and its Professional Application Reflective Competence
Teaching a skill • Stage 1 Demonstration of skill at normal speed with little/no explanation. Stage 2 Repetition with full explanation and encouraging learner to ask questions. Stage 3 Demonstration again with learner explaining each step and teacher questioning and correcting. May need to be repeated multiple times. Stage 4 Learner performs skill under close supervision describing each step before performing it.
Workplace teaching & learning - Limitations • Time and clinical constraints • Effect on smooth running of a business • Ability and willingness of staff whose main role is not teaching • Availability of teaching opportunities • Variability in technique • Non compliant patients
Simulations • Allows learning to be in a safe & controlled environment • Lots of opportunities to practice • Standard techniques can be taught • Less time constrained • BUT • Experience NOT real • Not possible for all tasks • May result in poor application in practice
Assessment – Why? • Have learning outcomes been met? • Are learners - Competent, Reliable, Safe. • Can knowledge and practical skills be used together in a problem solving context? • Important for public confidence and professional registration
Assessment of practical skills must be……. • Feasible • Credible • Have educational impact • Defensible • Supported by body of evidence in the literature • Acceptable to all stakeholders
