b)      Requirements and Assessment

During your clinical placements we want you to consider and write about the interprofessional elements involved in day-to-day practice, as they relate to team-working and human factors.

You are required to write two case reports with an Interprofessional Human Factors focus (both reports are due during your summer term placements).  You will need to get your supervisor to sign a paper copy, which you must keep safely.  We will be checking these randomly to ensure that supervisor signatures have been obtained.  The cases or situations you refer to may be based on any of your placement case studies during the fourth year.  The reports should focus on the Human Factors elements of collaboration between two or more different professions involved in patient care.   You should not write about collaborations that only involve members of the medical profession.
