    Preface

    This handbook was designed to complement the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Logopaedics StudentHandbook by providing specific information on students Clinical Practice. This Handbookshould be used in conjunction with the Clinical Handbooks designed for each Level of the

    course both by students and clinical supervisors. All Clinical Handbooks were based on theHandbooks designed for the B.Sc. (Hons.) in Speech and Language Therapy, delivered atQueen Margaret University (QMU). The QMU Handbooks were adapted to the needs of theB.Sc. (Hons.) in Logopaedics programme, the structure of its clinical practice and theneeds of its students.

    1. Making Contact

    All placements undertaken by Speech and Language Therapy students at Metropolitan College areorganized by the Placement Team:

    Clinical Practice Coordinator Level 3 TutorMrs Anthi Chaida Mrs Terry DontisTel: 210-6199891 Tel: 210-6199891Fax : 210-6199320 Fax: 210-6199320

    E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Metropolitan CollegeDepartment of Speech Therapy74 Sorou St.151 25 Maroussi Athens

    Placements are ALWAYS organized through the placement team.

    For general information appropriate to clinical placements throughout the course, students areobliged to consult the general guidelines for Student Placements.

    Semester Placements are currently organised according to the following:

    The placement team ensures that each has an appropriate balance of experience.

    The placement team ensures a variety of placements, both with children and adults and with

    different client groups. At the end of Level 4, students must have at least 700 hours of clinical practice both with

    children and adults.

    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 certainclient groups, for example children with special needs, a physical disability or patients with specific

    or patients with specific medical conditions. Students must be aware that they may be faced withsituations that require careful consideration.

    All Tutors and Clinical Tutors (CTs) have the responsibility to ensure that students on placement areappropriately aware of the health and safety regulations of each setting that they attend.

    In the fourth year of their studies students will deal with a variety of client groups, both withchildren and adults. Therefore, a very good theoretical background is required for the students inorder to be able to work 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 therapist'srole with certain client groups.

    As part of undergraduate training, students are expected to participate in helping with eating 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 Confidentiality

    Students must respect the confidentiality of information relating to Speech and Language TherapyClients. Names should never be mentioned when discussing clients with other students, carers,clinicians or tutors where the conversation may be overheard by parents, relatives or people notassociated with the clinic.

    3.2Client Files

    Client flies should NEVER be removed from the clinic room without permission from the CE,information copied from clinic files for case studies, session plans, case presentations etc. isconfidential and must be appropriately anonymised.Responsibility for client management and general standards of care with a particular client groups. To introduce professional colleagues, drawing attention to instances of inter and multi

    disciplinary client management. To attend or participate in many aspects of the work of their C.E. (staff meetings, case

    conferences, training days, work hops).

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 4Department of Speech Therapy

    To spend some time observing and/or talking to other professionals that work closely with the

    C.E. to discover how roles differ, overlap and complement each other. To supervise, as appropriate, students direct assessment and intervention with clients.

    To facilitate the student in making a video recording of a session with a known client for

    presentation.

    3.3 Attendance and Punctuality

    Students should keep a record of each clinic visit, noting the initials and diagnosis of each patient

    seen, with a brief outline of treatment carried out, together with any personal observations. Thisnotebook is brought to the clinical supervisor.

    If you are unable to attend clinic for any reason, you must notify the clinician as early as

    possible. For this reason you should keep a note of telephone numbers and telephone the clinicor the clinical supervisor. Absences from clinic should also be reported to the department.

    You are accountable for all absences and must present the appropriate documentation when

    absent, to both your clinical supervisor and AMC clinical director. You are allowed only 3excused absences per semester. If your absences are unexcused, it is up to the discretion ofboth the clinical supervisor and the AMC clinical director whether you can continue with yourclinical placement. Furthermore, your clincians grade will fall to 40%.

    Please arrive promptly at the agreed time. Punctuality is a courtesy to clinicians and essential for

    well-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. The Level 4 placements are the ultimate placements that honour students experience before

    completing their degree and being awarded a license to practice. For all students this is anopportunity for them to consolidate all clinical skills acquired in previous levels of the course.

    4. The role of the Clinical Tutor (CT)

    4.1 Orienting and Supporting the student in the Clinical Context

    To discover the overall aims, objectives and services rendered in the placement in which they

    are placed. To study any relevant documents referring to this particular placement and more general

    standards of care with particular client groups. To introduce professional colleagues, drawing attention to instances of inter and multi

    disciplinary client management. To attend or participate in many aspects of the work of their C.E. (staff meetings, case

    conferences, training days, workshops). To spend some time observing and/or talking to other professionals that work closely with the

    C.E. to discover how roles differ, overlap and complement each other. To supervise, as appropriate, students direct assessment and intervention with clients.

    To facilitate the student in making a video recording of a session with a known client for

    presentation, as part of the final examination THE VIDEO CASE PRESENTATION: Therapeuticintervention which takes place at AMC at the end of Semester 2.

    4.2 Supporting the students acquisition of clinical skills

    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.

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 4Department of Speech Therapy

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

    reports and letter writing, ordering equipment etc.

    5. Session Plans

    Students are expected to prepare written plans for sessions that they are asked to be involved withand to discuss these with their CT.When planning therapy sessions the students should:

    Ensure that planned activities are well linked to aims.

    Choose procedures and material that will interest and motivate the client.

    Decide how to increase or decrease the level of difficulty of the activities.

    Use clear and appropriate communication skills.

    6. 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 IV 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 IV 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,

    population and 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 by

    the student and should reflect on his/her experiences at each placement, supervisionreceived, and learning goals that were achieved.

    4. A copy of the Clinicians grading form. This is a form that the supervisors of each placementare obliged to complete. This is essentially a feedback sheet providing information about thestudents abilities in conducting assessments, therapy, professionalism, working with otherprofessionals, 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 elective

    activity for semester 2. Details and information regarding these activities is provided in thePortfolio Activities Section.

    6.1 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 amongst 5activities.

    Compulsory Portfolio Activity: An initial client contact.

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 4Department of Speech Therapy

    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 forthe 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.

    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 your

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

    6.2 Portfolio task 1 (Level 4, 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 contact

    Students 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 bewritten, outlining an outcome of the evaluation (clinical findings, diagnostic statement) and a plan ofaction (goals, session aims, strategy for the session, evaluation of the session, references). Thestudent can fulfil this requirement at any point (time) and at any placement during the semester.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.

    6.3 Portfolio task 2 (Level 4, 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.

    7. Assessment

    7.1 Practical Assessment in Level 4

    Semester 1The 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 2The 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 of40% or above.Additionally, the Clinical Portfolio must be passed independently.The placement grade will be the average of all placements, including AMC lab, a student may attendduring each semester.The final grade received for the Clinical Evaluation Exam will be the outcome of all individual

    components. In case of failure (the average of all the components is below a 40%), the wholeprocedure must be repeated with a different client.(For more details see the Clinical Theory and Practice IV Assessment Protocol in Appendix III).

    7.2 Clinical portfolio assessment

    The Clinical Portfolio must be passed independently, in order to pass the CTP IV module.The Clinical Portfolio is marked on a pass-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 the

    Clinical Portfolio with all tasks completed.Failure in the Clinical Portfolio assessment costs students 4 credits, which renders passing thisassessment a mandatory requirement for passing the CTP IV module.7.3 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 semester

    have to be passed independently (grade over 40%).

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 4Department of Speech Therapy

    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.

    7.4 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 AREASI. Professionalism.II. Evaluation of the Patients needs and abilities.III. Ability to set theoretical goods.IV. Ability to integrate theoretical Knowledge to clinical Practice.V. Ability to identify aims of therapy.VI. Ability to prepare and organize the therapy session.VII. Ability to achieve therapy goods during sessions.VIII.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.

    8. 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. The

    example 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 4 and indicates that theseabilities 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 4 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 student

    who 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.

    9. 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 achieve

    an Average Performance as the bench mark and then see if the student is exceeding or not quiteachieving this level of performance.

    9.1Criteria

    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 that

    are 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.

    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 additional

    assessed clinical practice, as elements of the clinical education modules must be passedindependently.

    11/38

    Athens Metropolitan College Clinical Handbook Level 4Department of Speech Therapy

    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.

    9.2 Marking the CRF

    An example marking scale is shown below (see also the Clinicians Grading Report Form in theAppendix I). As you can see, each grading band translates into a range of percentage marks. TheClinical Tutor is therefore able to make some further judgement as to whether the student haspresented sufficient evidence to be graded near the top, in the middle or at the low end of eachgrading band. After making this judgement, the clinician then places a bar on the scale within theband chosen, to indicate the judgement. The clinician can translate the bar into a percentagepoint if they wish, or this can be done by AMC. The figure derived is credit rated towards thestudents final year mark. In the example below, the clinician has judged that the student isperforming just above middle of Very Good (B) and this would be translated to a mark of 68%.
