I am very relieved that I passed this placement although I only scraped through by the skin of my teeth. I have a very idea now of how I can improve my performance thanks to the input of my clinical supervisor Maxine and clinical tutor Nicke. Now that the pressure and paranoia is off I can see how everybody was trying to help me. I am working full time at Shenton Park from Monday, and my clinical supervisor has suggested that I write clinical notes and soapiers for the people I see even if I don't have access to their clinical notes, I think this will be a very good strategy for me. I have a meeting next week with Jo to discuss further strategies. Another strategy suggested at the next placement is to ask the superisor at the end of each week what is expected in terms of patient workload, and expected knowledge outcomes at that point in the placement part of my problem during this placement related to not being sure what was expected.
The most important thing I have learned in this unit is the importance of following things through thoroughly in the SOAPIER format and not making leaps of logic for assessing patients.
I am expecting my next placement to be a better experience.
