Clinical placement: sessional log This section is to be completed by preceptees from all courses for each clinical placement that is undertaken. It is a tool for the preceptee to record specific and experiences undertaken. It allows the preceptee to reflect on their learning and identify areas for improvement in order to reach competency in practice. Preceptors can also use this log to review what the preceptee has undertaken previously to facilitate an ongoing learning experience. Both preceptees and preceptors are encouraged to document as comprehensively as possible at each session. Preceptees are encouraged to undertake a variety of supervised clinical experience with the acknowledgment that each new placement brings a different perspective to practice. This may require a small amount of observational time prior to conducting consultations. All client information in this log is to remain completely confidential. No client should be identified through any written comment or documentation of identifying data. Key to completing sessional log Consultation details: the reason for the client’s visit (e.g. cervical screening, STI check, contraceptive choice, test results, pregnancy test etc.). Role of preceptee: specify if supervised by a preceptor (S) or observing another’s practice (O). If consultation included taking a reproductive and sexual history include this (H) Comment: room for notes that can be used as a reflective tool on what you have learned (e.g. health aspects discussed, skills learned in using equipment, infection control tips, comments regarding client history, areas of difficulty etc.). All preceptors are encouraged to leave written feedback at the end of each session to facilitate the preceptees’ continued learning.
