Simulation stations None of in isolation will provide sufficient evidence and this is not an exhaustive list of evidence that can be used. may be occasional circumstances, for example certain disabilities, where a trainee is unable to perform a Clinical Examination or Procedural Skill himself or herself. In these situations the trainee will be assessed in their competence in being able to identify the examination required, recognising and reflecting in their learning log that they are unable to do this and ensuring the patient has timely access to another competent health professional to undertake the procedure. Trainees who have completed any of the previous mandatory Direct Observation Procedures (DOPS) will not have wasted any effort as these completed mandatory DOPS can be used to contribute to supporting their overall competence in Clinical Examination and Procedural Skills. Step-by-step guide for Trainees Trainees should provide evidence for Clinical Examination and Procedural Skills as opportunities arise during training. Evidence for this will occur regularly during consultations and joint surgeries. It is expected that supervisors will also observe trainees performing Clinical Examination and Procedural Skills and these can be documented on the CEPS form, which can be found in the evidence section of the ePortfolio, (Appendix D). It is the responsibility of trainees and their supervisors to ensure that there is sufficient evidence of competence recorded in the ePortfolio. How to record evidence of Clinical Examination and Procedural Skills within the trainee ePortfolio Learning Logs There is a learning log (Appendix C) that allows the trainee to record learning and skill acquisition relating to Clinical Examination and Procedural Skills (CEPS). The trainee is advised to use the word pictures, (Appendix A) for the CEPS competence to describe learning in this area.
