Mentors
Grateful for constructive criticism Supportive and encouraging. Practise procedures on mentor Students are individuals

Tutorials
Really useful regular contact with mentor
Weekly to start, then fortnightly Great for moving project forward
and checking PDP diary being done
![Page 9: From the student's perspective Alison Vaughan 14 th August 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e225503460f94b0f31d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Projects
Wide range being set. Audits, protocols, essays, information leaflets, practical tasks.
Something that benefits the department most popular, essays least.
Really nice to give something back to the department.

Homework
Younger students – ‘bad idea!’ Mature students - ‘good idea!’ Small tasks weekly/fortnightly are
useful for filling in the gaps. Reading protocols & procedures,
researching small topics.
![Page 11: From the student's perspective Alison Vaughan 14 th August 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e225503460f94b0f31d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Study time
Various ways this is organised. Regular ½ day each week or
equivalent Please take our preferences into
account.
![Page 12: From the student's perspective Alison Vaughan 14 th August 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e225503460f94b0f31d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Logbook
Great way to ensure we become proficient in a range of clinical skills.
Daunting at the start. Problems when compulsory procedures
are not routinely practised. O’s & P’s before FD’s. Longer appt times sometimes needed.
![Page 13: From the student's perspective Alison Vaughan 14 th August 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e225503460f94b0f31d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Doing things differently
Can be confusing to start. Still based on BSA procedures. Good for our learning to find out
why things are different. Easy to get into bad habits Jumping through hoops for exams.
![Page 14: From the student's perspective Alison Vaughan 14 th August 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e225503460f94b0f31d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Responsibility for our own learning
Opportunities to observe related health care professions ENT & SALT, HT and cochlear implant patients
Background knowledge Inter-professional learning Really helpful experience
![Page 15: From the student's perspective Alison Vaughan 14 th August 2007](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649e225503460f94b0f31d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Get us involved
Working in out-reach clinics Different equipment Limited equipment – problem
solving Presenting our projects at staff
meetings.

One student or more
Students enjoy having another student in the department
Helps settling in, discussing issues, patients, moaning.
If you are considering more students, do.

Was the placement successful?
Yes! Shaky start, once logbook and
projects were started students felt progress was being made.
Very valuable experience.

Passing on information
Good idea for a 4th year to chat with 2nd year students before they go out.
General outline of what to expect. However, we are all individuals and
react to situations differently. Pre-conceived ideas can be
unhelpful.
