An observation of mine at clinic, involved a new patient who was in for her consultation. From the early stages of the consultation it was clear that she was nervous and anxious about the situation. On reflection it may of been due to her problem or the fact that there were observers in the room. I feel that the way in which the year 3 student handled the situation was very professional through the use of communication. After re entering the room it was clear that the patient was in more of a settled and relaxed state, which enabled for the appointment to run smoothly and efficiently.



During my clinical observations, one patient that I observed brought a long a chaperon, as their first language was not English and they needed someone there to translate. When the student practitioner had finished explaining what was involved with the treatment, it was hard to tell whether what had been discussed was being translated back in its true translation even with the clinic tutor present. Also when it came to consent it was hard for the student practitioner to know whether the patient was giving full consent due to translation.

After the case history was completed as well as the blood pressure test the patient was asked to remove his clothes, however he did not feel comfortable with this. In relation to the OPS an osteopath must respect the decision of the patient (standard C6 on the OPS you must ‘respect your patients’dignity and modesty) I believe that the student osteopath handled the situation very well by saying that the treatment could go on with his clothes on but the effectiveness of the treatment may not be as effective
