I have started an outpatient musculo prac now at the Curtin clinic. Due to the limited number of supervisors compared to students often there is a line up of students wanting to discuss S and O findings with them at the same time. This means often waiting 10-15min before you can talk to them, then disussing for 5 min etc all while the patient is waiting in their cubicle. At first I found this quite annoying on my behalf and I am sure on the patients behalf too, wasting so much time. But looking at the logistics of the clinic and uni etc there isnt really any alternative. So I have been working out what I could do to try to cut down this time wasting. Firstly, I have worked on being absolutely definate in my S and O findings and trying to work out possible causes, diagnoses etc during the Ax and while waiting for the supervisor, so by the time I get to her I am alot quicker, smoother and effective. Secondly, I have worked on my time management with both subjective and objective assessment, to allow anytime I need to track down the supervisor.
Mostly from this I have learnt alot quicker and effective handovers but also quicker evaluation of findings. I am still however finding it quite hard, has anyone had similar circumstances with effective solutions?

I was informed at my musculo clinic to only present the subjective and relevant asterisk signs of the objective. Although this didn't seem enough information at the time i soon learnt that this gave the physio all the details they needed to discuss with you and if they needed further info they would just ask.
