    Preface

    This handbook was designed to complement the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Logopaedics StudentHandbook by providing specific information on students Clinical Practice. This Handbook

    should be used in conjunction with the Placement Handbook designed to provide generalinformation on Clinical Practice both to students and clinical supervisors. All ClinicalHandbooks were based on the Handbooks designed for the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Speech andLanguage Therapy, delivered at Queen Margaret University (QMU). The QMU Handbookswere adapted to the needs of the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Logopaedics programme, the structureof its clinical practice and the needs of its students.

    1. Making Contact

    All placements under taken by Speech and Language Therapy students at Metropolitan College are

    organized by the Placement team:

    2. Health and Safety in Clinical Settings

    2.1 Introductory points

    Many health and safety issues can arise within the clinical setting. Most of them arise with certain

    client groups, for example children with special needs, a physical disability or patients with specificor patients with specific medical conditions

    Students must be aware that they may be faced with situations that require careful consideration.

    All Tutors and CEs have the responsibility to ensure that students on placement are appropriatelyaware of the health and safety regulations of each setting that they attend.

    In the third year of their studies students will deal with a variety of client groups, both with childrenand adults. This very good theoretical background is required for the students in order to be able towork in the different placements.

    2.2 Oral examination and intra-oral exercises

    Surgical gloves should be worn for any oral examination or intra-oral exercise programme.

    Non-disposable (e.g. feeding utensils, PNF brushes, tympanometry seals) should be appropriately

    disinfected and cleaned immediately after the session finishes.

    Disposable equipment (e.g. gloves, spatulas, tissues) must be appropriately disposed of

    immediately after the examination/therapy session is completed.

    2.3 Dysphagia Swallowing Disorders

    Assessment and management of Swallowing Disorders are part of a Speech and Language therapistsrole with certain client groups.

    As part of undergraduate training, students are expected to participate in helping witheating or drinking under supervision.

    Teeth cleaning is many times regarded as an extension of mealtime oral training e.g. for

    cerebral palsy children. Students may be requested to assist with this as part of a therapistlead programme.

    3. Professional Issues

    3.1 Attendance and Punctuality

    Students should keep a record of each clinic visit, noting the initials and diagnosis of each patientseen, with a brief outline of treatment carried out, together with any personal observations. Thisnotebook is brought to AMCs Level Tutor.

    If a student is unable to attend clinic for any reason, he/she must notify the clinician as early aspossible. For this reason you should keep a note of telephone numbers and telephone the clinic orthe clinical supervisor. Absences from clinic should also be reported to the department.

    Please arrive promptly at the agreed time. Punctuality is a courtesy to clinicians and essential forwell-planned treatment sessions.

    Please ensure that your clinical supervisor has a contact phone number where you may be contacted

    or a message left for you in the event of last minute cancellation of a clinic.

    3.2 Responsibility for client management

    The Clinical Tutor (CT) is responsible for the management and care of his/her clients. Studentsundertake assessment and treatment only under the direction of the CT. It is therefore inappropriate

    for students to take decisions regarding admission, discharge or referral of clients to other clinics orrehabilitation centres.

    3.3 Students responsibilities

    Students are required to exhibit the following:Preparation for session Hypotheses should be clearly worded and linked to sound theoretical rationale.

    Clear session plans

    Materials should be well organised and designed

    Behaviour should be appropriately professional throughout

    Session management Unexpected and/or situations should be dealt with appropriately

    Flexibility should be demonstrated in the sessions with suitable justification

    Sessions should be well-managed and well-balanced

    Students should demonstrate therapeutic effectiveness

    Ability to discuss work and professional progress A sound theoretical base should be given for clinical decisions

    Self evaluation (analytical and professional) should be carried out

    Clinical objectives Students must consistently demonstrate competence in the full range of sub skills of the major

    skill areas of the Clinical Objectives.

    4. Aims and Objectives of Clinical Practice

    During clinical placements students are expected to become immediately actively involved in clinicalactivities.

    They should begin to work with clients and their families.

    They should begin to experience on-going assessment, diagnostic therapy and interventionprocedures until they are taking responsibilities on their own small caseload of clients.The aims of clinical practice during the 3rd year are: to provide the students with learning objectivesfor their clinical placement so that they have clear idea of what they to have learn and achieve by

    the end of the year. To make clinical skills more explicit in order to help the students learn about the process of

    Speech and Language Therapy.

    To provide explicit criteria for assessment of clinical competence.

    5. The role of the Clinical Tutor (CT)

    5.1 Supporting the students acquisition of clinical skills

    To support the students experience with clinical practice by providing o period ofobservation and gradually introduce them in direct clinical activities.

    Page 4

  • 7/27/2019 LOGO_CLIN HANDBOOK L3_2010.doc

    6/37

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 3Department of Speech Therapy

    To supervise and direct students in their assessment and intervention with clients.

    To read and discuss the students session and treatment plans and provide feedback on the

    portfolio activity completed during the placement.

    To give feedback about the students interaction with clients.

    5.2 Supporting the students acquisition of clinical administration /management techniques

    To give opportunities for discussion of specific issues in client management case prioritisation

    clinical effectiveness, professionalism and professional policy.

    To support students in the development of a professional relationship with the various

    members of the interdisciplinary team.

    To introduce students to the administrative procedures of the setting e.g. for referrals,

    reports and letter writing, ordering equipment etc.

    In the middle of the clinical practice period, Clinical Tutors are advised to fill in the Half-way

    Comments Form (see Appendix) and to discuss with the students areas that need improvement.

    6. Session plans

    Students are expected to prepare detailed written plans, with reference to supporting literature, forsession that they are asked to be involved with, in the clinics and discuss these with their ClinicalTutor (CT).

    7. Clinical Portfolio

    The clinical portfolio is a cumulative piece of work in which students maintain a record of all theirplacement and clinical experiences and related course work activities throughout all years of thecourse.The portfolio can be discussed during tutorials with the students academic tutor. It is theresponsibility of each student to present the portfolio to the CTP III module tutor at the end of eachsemester, with the activities that are due for each semester. The Clinical Portfolio is graded on aPass/Fail basis. Please note that if the portfolio is missing an activity that you are required toinclude, it is considered an automatic Fail.

    The Clinical Portfolio for Level 3 should include the following items listed below.1. A contents page summarizing the information contained in each section. Each section is

    organized chronologically, starting from the most recent experience.2. A summary of clinical placements. This section should include the placement names, populationand range of ages seen, as well as duties performed there.3. A copy of the students evaluation of each placement. This is an evaluation form filled out bythe student and should reflect on his/her experiences at each placement, supervision received,and learning goals that were achieved.4. A copy of the Clinicians grading form. This is a form that the supervisors of each placement areobliged to complete. This is essentially a feedback sheet providing information about the studentsabilities in conducting assessments, therapy, professionalism, working with other professionals,motivation and willingness to learn, timeliness and overall performance at the placement.5. Portfolio activities. There is one compulsory portfolio activity for semester 1 and one electiveactivity for semester 2. Details and information regarding these activities is provided in thePortfolio Activities Section.

    7.1 Portfolio activities

    Students are required to complete one portfolio activity for each semester. During semester one,there is a specific activity which is compulsory, and during semester two, there is a choice amongst5 activities.

    Compulsory Portfolio Activity: An initial client contact.

    Students are required to prepare for and carry out an initial assessment with an adult or childclient either in the AMC lab or their clinical placement. A report of no more than 1500 words, must be written, outlining the outcome of the evaluation(clinical findings, diagnostic statement) and a plan of action (goals, session aims, strategy for thesession, evaluation of the session, references)

    The student can fulfil this requirement at any point (time) and at any placement during thesemester. The student must have this report completed by the end of the first semester so as to show the

    module coordinator during their end-of-semester meeting.

    Elective Portfolio activity suggestions:

    The student is free to choose which activity will complete based on individual interests or thenature of their placement. All portfolio activities will be presented in class. The activity should becompleted within 500-1000 words.

    1. Carry out a literature search which will support the management of a case selected by yourclinician. Provide a brief bibliography of no more than 7 references and summarise the pointswhich could contribute to the future management of the case.

    2. Prepare a 10-15 slide power point presentation which targets a specific speech and language

    disorder and prepare to present a therapy approach which successfully addresses this disorder.3. Write a draft report on a case you have seen following their initial assessment. Bear in mind that

    the report will be sent to the referring agency and other relevant parties, includingcarers/parents. They will require an overview of your findings to date, a clear statement aboutfuture management intentions and, where appropriate, the aims of any further intervention.

    4. Write a draft report on a client who has completed a course of treatment. Include a summary ofresponse to therapy se far and a clear statement about future management. Where appropriateinclude an advice sheet which can act as a reminder for the carers about the suggestions andactivities which you have already discussed to promote continuing progress.

    5. You will be involved in the construction of an informal language test for use in the AMC lab or atyour clinical placement. Your responsibilities will include compiling a list of speech and language

    developmental skills from ages 0-5, a clinicians marking sheet and various materials that youmay need to carry out the assessment (for each age group).

    7.2 Portfolio task 1 (Level 3, Semester 1)

    Students are required to complete one portfolio activity for each semester. During semester one,there is a specific activity which is compulsory.

    Compulsory Portfolio Activity: An initial contactStudents are required to prepare for and carry out an initial assessment with an adult of child clienteither in the AMC lab or their clinical placement.

    A report no more than 1500 words- must be written, outlining an outcome of the evaluation (clinicalfindings, diagnostic statement) and a plan of action (goals, session aims, strategy for the session,evaluation of the session, references).The student can fulfil this requirement at any point (time) and at any placement during thesemester.The student must have this report completed by the end of the first semester so as to show themodule coordinator during their end of semester meeting.

    7.3 Portfolio task 2 (Level 3, Semester 2)

    During semester two students are required to complete one elective activity. The student is free tochoose, which activity will complete based on individual interests or the nature of their placement.All portfolio activities will be presented in class. The activity should be completed within 500-1000words. The clinical tutor provides the students with a list with different activities.

    8. Practical Assessment

    Semester 1

    The practical assessment of the semester has 2 components:1. A placement grade awarded by the clinical supervisor (10 %).2. A formative portfolio activity.3. A formative clinic visit by the module tutor (takes place throughout the year).

    Semester 2

    The practical assessment of the semester has 4 components:1. A placement grade awarded by the clinical supervisor (10 %).2. Clinical Evaluation Exam (80 %).3. Formative portfolio activity.4. Clinical portfolio (pass or fail).The Clinical Evaluation Exam consists of: a written case report (10 %), an oral presentation of case(20 %), a video exam (35 %) and a viva exam (35 %).

    - Each element of assessment must be passed separately with a mark of 40% or above.Additionally, the Clinical Portfolio must be passed independently.

    - The placement grade will be the average of all placements including the AMC lab a studentmay attend during each semester.

    - The final grade received for the Clinical Evaluation Exam will be the outcome of all individualcomponents. In case of failure (the final mark resulting from all components is below a 40%),

    the whole procedure must be repeated with a different client.- (For more details see the Clinical Theory and Practice III, see Assessment Protocol in Appendix

    III).

    8.1 Clinical portfolio assessment

    The Clinical Portfolio must be passed independently, in order to pass the CTP III module.The Clinical Portfolio is marked on a pass-or-fail basis by the Module Tutor. The Module Tutor goesthrough a checklist and checks if all portfolio tasks and activities are completed and included in thePortfolio. If one or more portfolio tasks are missing, the student fails.If the student has failed the Clinical Portfolio, he/she can be reassessed after completing a minimumof 10 days additional clinical work during the summer period or September and submitting again theClinical Portfolio with all tasks completed.

    9/37

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 3Department of Speech Therapy

    Failure in the Clinical Portfolio assessment costs students 4 credits, which renders passing thisassessment a mandatory requirement for passing the CTP III module.

    8.2 Failing practical and clinical evaluation assessment

    A student failing the placement grade can only be reassessed after completing a minimum of 10 daysadditional clinical work during the summer period or September. This placement may take the formof a block placement or weekly sessions and must normally be completed before the October Boardof Examiners and the beginning of the new academic year. This additional experience will bearranged only by the Clinical Coordinator of AMC.Note that all placement evaluations (including the AMC lab) a student attends during each semesterhave to be passed independently (grade over 40%).The final grade received for the clinical Evaluation Assignment will be the outcome of all individualcomponents. In case of failure (the outcome of all the components is below 40%) the wholeprocedure must be repeated, at a later date, with a different client.

    8.3 Awarding a placement grade

    The Clinical Report Form is designed to allow clinical tutors to describe a students performance inthe following key areas and to award a grade for overall performance on the clinical placement.KEY AREAS:

    I. ProfessionalismII. Ability to assess the patients needs and capacitiesIII. Ability to set theoretical goalsIV. Ability to integrate theoretical knowledge into clinical practiceV. Ability to identify aims of therapyVI. Ability to prepare and organise the therapy sessionVII. Ability- to achieve therapy goals during sessionVIII. Ability to evaluate own performance and development needs

    The Clinical Report Form is intended to provide a guide to expectations, capacities, self-evaluationof performance, and competences of each student at the end of the semester.

    9. Filling in the Clinical Report Form (Clinicians Grading)

    The Clinical Report Form (CRF) was adopted from the QMUC clinical assessment scheme and providesa separate table for each key area, which is broken down into a series of clinical abilities. Theexample below shows 5 abilities from the key area Professionalism. The abilities are ordered toreflect a students progression towards clinical qualification at specific levels of the course. Theseare given in the Level column. The example here represents Level 3 and indicates that these

    abilities should be present by the end of the third year. The following columns allow the clinician toindicate whether, at the time of discussion, a particular ability is judged to be Enhanced, Present,Emerging, or Absent. If an attribute may not be applied to a particular placement NotApplicable is indicated.

    Depending on the Level of studies of the student, rows of the table that correspond to higher levelsare shaded as not applicable. The example illustrates a Level 3 form.

    DEFINITIONS

    Enhanced this indicates that the student has demonstrated a high level of achievement in theattribute specified.

    Present this indicates that the student is able to demonstrate the attribute consistently.Emerging this indicates that the student demonstrates the attribute, but still requires

    considerable support and guidance.Absent this indicates that the student has never demonstrated the attribute in question.Not applicable this indicates that the attribute may not be applied to the particular placement.

    The clinician should consider and tick a column for all attributes up to and including the level in thecourse that the student is about to complete, i.e. for a student just finishing level 3, the clinicianshould check all attributes up to that point, as indicated in the Level column. Finally, for a studentwho has done exceptionally well, the clinician may wish to comment on his/her performance inabilities appropriate to higher levels in the course. In the example shown above, of a studentcompleting level 3, the clinician has noted that the student has shown some ability to discussclinical issues and participation in client management in near-equal partnership with clinician,normally expected to emerge at Level 4.

    10. Awarding a grade

    In awarding a placement grade, the clinician should make the decision on the basis of the criteriaspecified below. It is perhaps helpful to first think about what is required for the student to achievean Average Performance as the bench mark and then see if the student is exceeding or not quiteachieving this level of performance.

    10.1 Criteria

    Grade C (50-59%), reflecting Average Performance is appropriate if, by the end of theplacement, the student has shown that all the abilities expected by their level in the course areobserved to be at least present. Importantly only abilities that the student has had theopportunity to demonstrate can be taken into account. A grade C implies that the student hasattained the expected standard for the level. Grade C can also be appropriate for those studentswho deviate slightly from the bench mark standard insofar as the majority of expected attributesarepresent and a small minority of attributes, shown as emerging, are balanced with some thatare enhanced.

    If the student is additionally demonstrating enhancedperformance in some attributes specified

    for their level, then a Grade B (60-69%), reflecting Very Good Performance, is appropriate. If the student is additionally demonstrating enhancedperformance in the majority of attributes

    specified for their level, then a Grade A (70-79%), reflecting Outstanding Performance, isappropriate.

    Page 9

    11/37

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 3Department of Speech Therapy

    Grade D (40-49%), reflecting Adequate/Marginal Performance is appropriate for those studentswho are demonstrating that a majority of attributes expected at their level and previous levelsarepresent but with some attributes still emerging.

    Grade E(0-39%) signifies a Fail. This is appropriate if any attributes expected at the studentslevel or previous levels are absent or where the majority of attributes expected at the studentslevel are still emerging. In the case of a fail, the student will be required to carry out additionalassessed clinical practice, as elements of the clinical education modules must be passedindependently.

    Note: It must be emphasised that these judgements must be made in the context of (a) the extentto which the placement has given a student the opportunity to demonstrate the attribute beingconsidered, and (b) the standard that is appropriate for the level of the course.

    10.2 Marking the CRF

    An example marking scale is shown below (see also the Clinicians Grading Report Form in Appendix

    I). As you can see, each grading band translates into a range of percentage marks. The Clinical Tutoris therefore able to make some further judgement as to whether the student has presentedsufficient evidence to be graded near the top, in the middle or at the low end of each grading band.After making this judgement, the clinician then places a bar on the scale within the band chosen, toindicate the judgement. The clinician can translate the bar into a percentage point if they wish, orthis can be done by AMC. The figure derived is credit rated towards the students final year mark. Inthe example below, the clinician has judged that the student is performing just above middle ofVery Good (B) and this would be translated to a mark of 68%.

    Clinical evaluation(The whole clinical evaluation counts 80% of the students grade)

    Students are required to sit for a practical exam at the end of Level 3. They are

    required to produce on their own two at least video taped assessment sessions fortheir clinical evaluation. For their exam only one video tape will be used. The otherwill be used in case of failure. Students are free to choose between a child or anadult and to perform their assessment at any time (initial assessment or other) aslong ase they are explainefull. Students are free to video tape at any point duringthe period of the two semesters. Each student must present a different videoassessment either from their placement or from the lab at AMC.

    25/37

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 3Department of Speech Therapy

    The clinical evaluation must be passed independently of the other parts of the

    assessment pattern (clinicians grading) and counts for the 80% of the studentsgrade.

    Students will present their cases, indivindually, in AMC, to two examiners, one of

    whom has to be an SLT.Oral presentation and discussions with the examiners may

    be videotaped to allow the External Examiners to moderate the assessmentprocess.

    The case presentation will normally include a 20 minute , unedited video-tape of

    the student involved in some form of assessment which contributes to anunderstanding of the clients communicative abilities and needs. The students maytherefore be engaged in administration of formal or informal assessments, indiagnostic therapy andor in assessing the effectiveness of therapy. The video willtypically involve the student interacting directly with the client and ideally thecamera angle should capture both the client and the student. In some cases it isrecognised that the assessment of the client may be more appropriately carried outby the clients supporter/s. In these cases the student will be shown interactingdirectly with the supporter/s.

    The total time allocated for each students case presentation is 1 hour. Students will be given written feedback on their performance, normally following

    completion of all the case presentation examinations for their cohort.

    Students must present evidence that they have obtained consent for making the

    video from the persons that may be identified bytheir appearanc on the tape -thistypically include the client but it may also include supporters.The student shouldobtain the appropriate consent forms from the Clinical Coordinator. Consent formsshould not be given to clients or supporters without prior agreement with thesupervising clinician.

    Further details of the requirements and assessment objectives for each of the parts ofsudents clinical evaluation are given on the following pages.

    Written Case Report- 10%

    Students produce a case report assignment based on the video tape assessment session,

    which are responsible to produce throught semester 1 and/or semester 2. The writteninformation should not exceed 5 sides of A4 paper. (Students are reminded thatconfidentiality must be maintained in all supporting information by removing allinformation that could identify the client or other professionals or people mentionedin the written documentation and oral presentation. Pseudonyms of pseudo-initialsshould be used and clearly noted as such. Breach of these conditions will result in thematerial being returned to the student for appropriate modification before sitting theexamination. In these circumstances the student can only receive a maximum of 40%

    for the examination, although feedback will be given as to the actual mark which theexamination performance would have attracted).

    The originals signed consent forms for all the people identifiable in the videotape must

    be handed in to the Clinical Coordinator in a sealed envelop, marked confidential, assoon as possible after handing in the videos. Clinical evaluation exam will not takeplace in the absence of this documentation.

    Three hard copies of written case report should be handed to the Clinical Coordinator

    at least one week before the case assessment presentation is due to take place. This isto allow the examiners to have an opportunity to read this information before thePresentation.

    This written information should contain:1. Brief administrative details2. A detailed, systematic and evidenced summary of the clients abilities and

    needs known prior to the session to be shown.3. A statement outlining the motivation for the assessment carried out during the

    session (including ay additional assessment taking place in the session but notportrayed in the video) and a rationale of the assessment techniques selected toprovide the information required.

    4. A onepage written plan of the complete session from which the videopresentation is extracted.

    5. A detailed evidenced summary to the information gained about the client as aresult of the session and, where appropriate, a brief summary of furtherinformation required.

    Students have to demonstrate that they can: Report the results of assessment in a full and accurate manner

    Select appropriate assessment procedures

    Discuss the implications of collecting data in a variety of

    communicative settings. Score and analyse data assessment results accurately.

    Interpret the results of assessment procedures and data analysis

    Draw inferences from all available information to establish a

    comprehensive picture of peoples communicative abilities andneeds.

    Oral presentation (with PowerPoint) - 10 minutes - 20%

    The student introduces the case to the examiners by providing: A brief, clear and orderly summary of the clients communicative profile, highlighting

    the contribution made by the session to be seen.

    Some insight into how the assessment will contribute to future client management.

    An insight into the contribution that preparation for this exam has made to the

    students professional development.The student uses an oral presentation to explain the purpose and outcome of theassessment session featured in the video. This is an opportunity for the students todemonstrate that they can:

    Report findings systematically and succinctly

    Integrate the information from all sources to make a holistic and accurate evaluation

    of the client Report on the implications of the assessment effectively

    Fairly and accurately evaluate their own performance during a session

    Reflect on the process of identifying and meeting learning goals.

    Video demonstration - 20 minutes - 35%

    It is recommended that students videotape a complete session (which is likely to be longerthan 20 minutes duration).Students should then select 20 minutes of the videotapematerial for presentation. The section shown must not be edited but must show continuous20 minute period of interaction between the student and the client and/or the clientssupporter. The video material should normally include either the opening of the session orthe closing of the session.

    theoretical frameworks. Make reference to relevant literature to support their arguments.

    Following the viva, the student will leave the room to allow the examiners to confer tocomplete the feedback sheet and award the marks for the examination.
