@physiotalk For once this is a chat I cant really contribute to. I'm not sure of the last time I used anything that could be called a medical device - but I'll wait to be corrected if people start a list! #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@IanTyrrell5 @physiotalk See - I knew I might use a medical device.... Who knew a walking aid might be classed that way... #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@IanTyrrell5 @physiotalk OK OK I use loads then.... Even the odd BP machine etc. #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@cathedwards_1 @physiotalk I'm not joining in any conversations about what I might have learnt as a student... Probably all now condemned! #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@emaroids1 @physiotalk To theories or practical? In Uni or on placement? Difficult for most HEI's to have the most up to date equipment I would have thought #physiotalk
Sarah Gregson Physio @SarahGPhysio1
@physiotalk Well apart from obvious patient safety..need to be accurate, reliable, reproducible and effective in order to use for assessment and/or treatment #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@IanTyrrell5 @physiotalk @DrJulietHarvey Is it just as important to have he confidence to say that you DON'T know how to use the device? #physiotalk
Pam Watkins💙 @PWtherapist
@physiotalk #physiotalk professional responsibility and safety for staff as well as patients .
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@IanTyrrell5 @physiotalk @DrJulietHarvey Good question! I was thinking of a scenario when you had been trained but then not needed to use the device. How to maintain competency? Better to say that you don't feel competent than try and be unsafe?#physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@IanTyrrell5 @liziophysio1 @physiotalk @DrJulietHarvey A difference between technical competence and clinical competence #physiotalk
Pam Watkins💙 @PWtherapist
@physiotalk #physiotalk So difficult to do at times . Time is a factor and confidence and competence are two very different things . Also ,back to first question , what is a medical device ?
Pam Watkins💙 @PWtherapist
@physiotalk #physiotalk definitely . I have seen this with some staff in the past . Overly confident is / can be a dangerous thing .

@Sallylk @IanTyrrell5 @physiotalk 1st time so here goes..... we include in our curriculum NIV, IV , MI:E, IPPB students learn theory and use simulation, case studies, discussion, clinical reasoning and debrief to prepare for clinical practice with some success though competence and confidence differ #physiotalk
Pam Watkins💙 @PWtherapist
@physiotalk #physiotalk clinical reasoning is so important as to evaluate the requirement for any medical device . Following other staff or "copying " others can be unsafe . Recently identified this issue with new junior, "following " a colleague use of a device .
MollyHashmiGreenwood @MollyHGPhysio
@JanetThomas47 @IanTyrrell5 @physiotalk @DrJulietHarvey Definitely I would say people have to be open about their own competence - it is impossible for someone else to say you remain competent where there has been a delay between being signed off and using a device clinically #physiotalk
Janet Thomas @JanetThomas47
@physiotalk I've just had a look and a quick search of TURAS came up with a blank #physiotalk
Pam Watkins💙 @PWtherapist
@IanTyrrell5 @Sallylk @physiotalk #physiotalk one of the problems for rotational staff is that the equipment they become confident and competent in one clinical area they not not have to use at all in another clinical area . So lose their competence and /or confidence .
MollyHashmiGreenwood @MollyHGPhysio
@physiotalk Going to review our case studies and the way we facilitate our students’ learning. Good to get more feedback once students have done the class stuff and seen application in real clinical practice so we can keep things fresh - still working clinically already helps #physiotalk
Pam Watkins💙 @PWtherapist
@physiotalk #physiotalk each rotation staff have to have competencies for respiratory on call completed . This may or may not include devices depending on patients in hospital at the time . Regular on call sessions held , peer reviews Learning from reflective practice.
