Tuesday
Worked the evening shift (12pm to 8pm) to see if I would see any more NOF trauma cases. However, despite the A&E being very busy there was not one to be seen!. However, I did manage to get additional 'hands on' experience of imaging facial bones & C-spine trauma. I also managed to go to theatre & get to talk to the theatre staff about patient management and various prosthesis used. I think I managed to get some very good info for the poster.
Wednesday
Today there were 2 NOF cases which the radiographers left for my fellow student & I to image. Between us we managed to get excellent diagnostic images, i.e. AP pelvis & horizontal beam lateral. It did wonders for our confidence when the radiographer overseeing the examination commented about our good technique/positioning. Things can only get better........
Introduction - What's a PBM?
As part of the final year of study for a degree in Diagnostic Radiography, the students have to arrange a three week clinical placement in a hospital of their choice. The placement is intended to give the student an opportunity to investigate an area or aspect of diagnostic radiography that he/she finds particularly interesting. The module is assessed by means of the student writing a reflective journal about his/her learning experience during the placement and also a poster presentation demonstrating key learning points from the placement, i.e. applying theory to practice. To achieve this each student must set some learning objectives that are professionally relevant to the chosen area of interest. For my PBM, I have chosen to investigate the management of a patient suffering a fracture of the neck of femur. I have chosen my placement within a large, teaching hospital in the Midlands. In the interests of confidentiality the hospital, department, staff or patients will not be identified. My objectives for this module are as follows:
1. To explore the different types of fractures associated with sub-capital fracture and how a patient may present
2. To examine different treatment & management options for a patient with a fractured neck of femur
3. To investigate the different types of prosthesis used for fractured neck of femur
