Peer observation is an example of 'an objective activity' – it’s a means of getting objective feedback on your practice from a colleague, enabling you to reflect on what you do and to consider how you might enhance your practice.
At the conclusion of a clinical audit, it can be helpful to write up a brief report and to record it in order to support your discussion with your peer at a later date.
Topics should be considered on the basis of what could be specifically relevant for your practice, in terms your practice profile, continuing professional development, marketing goals or contractual obligations to other organisations.
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) facilitate anonymous feedback from patients enabling osteopaths to check how patients respond to osteopathic treatment.
The CARE Measure is a quick (only 10 questions), clear and easy to complete patient-completed questionnaire. It measures empathy in the context of the therapeutic relationship during a one-on-one consultation between a clinician and a patient.
