I have just checked with Miss Lek and she mentioned that there is no cap to how many signatures a clinican can give in one session.

Hope this helps.

Quotas

Hi everyone,

I understand from some of you that the quota system is out for the module Clinical Practice.

However, I still urge each and everyone of you to do as many GEs, SCL and RGP fit as possible.

Reason:

Once you step out to work, you want to feel confident in handling patients, doing CL fits and adjusting frames.

The more you do, the more questions you will have. It will thus be a good opportunity to then ask and clear your doubts. When you are out practicing by yourself, your employers will expect you to know everything( though I know it it very unfair). Once you start work, you may be the only optom in the shop, thus you may not be able to clarify your doubts then.

It is difficult at times, but as much as possible, do bring in your family to do GEs and bring in your friends to do SCL or RGP fits.

You may not master it the first time round, but as do more of it, it wil get better.

You really don't wish to graduate having only done 6 RGPs. Right?

Language

Dear all,

the next time you are in clinic, please please watch your language.

It is understandable that people get frustrated by clinicians, patients or just frustrated in general. Please please, no swearing in clinic.

If you really really have to swear, just say out the initals of the swear word, quietly.

It does not reflect well on you if you swear, esp in front of or if the patient is still around. It also does not reflect well on SPOC.

Many thanks

Attire

Dear all,

please be reminded that you are to wear formal wear to the clinic.

Formal wear is enforced so as to portray a professional image and a respect to your patient and most of your your own profession.

The next time you are schduled for clinic, please ensure

  • Covered shoes
  • Ironed Lab Coat
  • Long hair tied up
  • Instruments charged
  • An open mind
