HOW TO GET THE BEST OUT OF TUTORIALS

Feedback

Your trainer will probably ask questions at the end to ascertain your (hopefully now improved) level of knowledge and understanding.

They may see if you could apply this to a simulated clinical scenario.

Try and allow time to discuss any immediately related issues.

Ask for any articles or useful written material your trainer may have on the topic.

Get further references as necessary.

Discuss future learning needs arising from the tutorial, e.g.

• the need for a further tutorial on a related subject,
• advice to read a particular book or
• arranging a visit to a particular clinic.

Agree a summary of what has been discussed

Write up a reflective practice form outlining what was discussed, the key learning points and future learning needs.

Update your portfolio and educational plan.
