Abstract:
Healthcare policy in the UK is moving towards an expansion in day care services. As it becomes increasingly difficult to deliver clinical teaching to undergraduates in traditional inpatient venues, opportunities must be sought in ambulatory care. The proposed increased activity of day surgery units provides one such resource for the development of a structured clinical teaching programme. This paper highlights 12 tips for the preparation, delivery and evaluation of a clinical teaching programme in the day surgery unit. It describes the implications for staff and resources and indicates the educational opportunities that can be provided.
