You will:

• Be given the underpinning knowledge required to fulfil each skill

To be able to truly assess the application of your knowledge and how safely you will perform your clinical skills in the healthcare environment your trainer and assessor must be sure that you will consider your client as a whole and multi-faceted person, not just a task or aspect of care.

Throughout the course you will be assessed on many different skills. Keep in mind that even though you may have been assessed earlier on skills such as handwashing, documentation, specimen collection, communication etc., you are still expected to include these aspects in scenarios later in the course even if you have been deemed satisfactory in these overall skills.
