The day before my second prac and I'm feeling more confident than I did prior to the first one. However in saying that I am nervous about the fact that this is my musculoskeletal prac and that there is ALOT you need to know for this placement but I don't think that I will ever feel prepared enough know matter how much I study and revise. I think that once i get there I will realise I know more than I think I do (hopefully). I am always like this, I doubt my skills due to nervous and about not knowing what is ahead of me.
As it is a private practice I feel greater pressure to make sure the patients feel comfortable with a student assessing and treating them. Also due to being a private practice there will be less involvement of a MDT howerver I will be required to liase with GP's and specialists regarding the patients progress and treatment plans.
I am also concerned about what this facility and my supervisor at this placement will expect of me, especially being the second placement. Yet it is hard for me to have improved in musculoskeletal conditions as i was not expose to any however I think the main expectation will be on proffesionalism, subjective assessment and basic objective assessment. Also having clinical reasoning abilities.
I hope that this placement provides me with alot of hands on experience and allows me to broaden my own knowledge and skills as well as build up my confidence within myself.
