Well done on a great placement! As we approach your final days, there are several important tasks that must be completed to support your learning, ensure continuity of client care, and finalise your placement requirements.

Please take the time to read the information below and action everything by your last day of placement.

1. End of placement (submit by email: slclinic.ep@canberra.edu.au)

In preparation for your final feedback meeting, please complete a brief written reflection and email it to your supervisor. Your reflection should answer the following questions:

a) Clinical practice and competencies: What clinical competencies have you demonstrated and developed during placement? What are you doing well? (i.e., communication, professionalism, assessments and interpretation, planning and delivery of exercise, lifestyle modification, risk management)

c) Key learning /take home message: What is the most important thing/take-home message you have learned during this placement? Provide an example of how you have helped a client progress towards their goals or manage their symptoms/condition. Has this changed your practice or approach? (i.e., what did you do? why? what was the outcome?)

d) Ongoing development: Based on your current performance, what area(s) would you like to continue strengthening? What is needed to support your development?

f) Clinic resources and structure: Are there any resource tools or systems you feel would help support future students? Did the clinic provide you the resources and valuable experiences?

How did you find your clinic schedule and caseload? Please provide any recommendations for future placement and client continuity of care.

2. Interprofessional learning (IPL activities)

Please complete the following surveys on your experience with our IPL activities:

a) IPL case studies: https://uoc.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_74jUqTLIOyeRJhs

b) Lower limb Osteoarthritis (OA) program: https://uoc.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_djzFGRiYLGVoR9Q

3. Client care and clinic documentation

Please ensure all of the following are fully completed before your final day:

Client notes
Exercise programs (PhysiTrack and/or in-clinic program) Please note, all program need to be discussed/approved by your supervisor
In-house and external referrals (if applicable)
Service reports to referring practitioners (if applicable)
Handover summariese for the next block of students (written into your last clinical note entry or as a communication note if your last entry has already been finalised)
Important: Review your client list (initial, reviews, 1:1 and groups) identifying any clients who do not have a subsequent appointment booked. If an appointment is missing, please aim to reach out to the client to arrange another appointment to support continuity of care. You can use the following script when calling your client:

"Hi (insert client's name) this is (insert your name) calling from the UC Health Clinics Exercise Physiology team. I've been working with you during my placement block. I am calling to check in and see how you have been going with your exercise program, and to make sure everything is on track"

(pause for response)

""I have also noticed that you do not have a follow-up appointment/session booked in yet, and I would like to help organise that to support your ongoing progress. Would you like me to schedule your next appointment/session?"

(If yes → (offer the next available appointment or transfer them to reception #5843 )

(If unsure →encourage gently)

(If no → document in Nookal in a communication note and provide a hand over)

"Thank you for your time today, if you need anything or have any concerns, please let us know. Have a lovely day"

Please document your contact with the client by completing a communication note in Nookal. Include any relevant information (i.e., reason for being absent etc). If you have not been successful in reaching them, please complete a communicate note on Nookal stating that you have tried contacting the client with or without a voicemail message left. Then notify your supervisor that you were unable to reach your client and that a follow-up call is needed to book an appointment.

4. End of placement administration

Before your finish, please complete all of the following:

1.ESSA Record of student engagement: Email your ROSE form to your supervisor (slclinic.ep@canberra.edu.au) by the end of your last Thursday on placement (Example can be seen on CANVAS).

2. Clinic documentation: Upload any handwritten notes/consents onto the client's Nookal file under the appropriate Exercise Physiology case. Please rename the file to reflect the file i.e., Informed consent testing/intervention. Place all hard copies in the locked bin near Level D printer.

3. Restock clinic material: Check document trays ensuring that there is sufficient number of documents in each tray. If they need refilling, please make photocopies and refill the tray. Check cleaning stations and pre/post measure table ensuring there is adequate amounts of consumables available for the next block of students (i.e., alcohol wipes, paper towel, disinfectant spray, tissues etc). Notify your supervisor if the stock cupboard is running low on any items.

4. Clean and tidy environment: Wipe down all equipment in the clinical space as well as your work station.

5. Placement Photo

Team photo: Block student may take a fun, respectful group photo that reflects your team's personality. Please show the photo to your superviosr before printing and displaying it in the student room.

Gratitude photo: Please take a professional group photo with a short thank you message to the clients that you worked with. Use the gratitude template and email it to your supervisor for printing.

6. Final Feedback session

Your formal final feedback will occur on your last day of placement. During the meeting we will:

1. Discuss your written reflection

2. Review your progress

3. Provide final performance feedback and complete your required assessment paperwork

Your supervisor will confirm the exact feedback times during your last week of placement.
