> Your assessment of practice documents should give you some idea of the
> areas of knowledge, skills and values that you will be assessed on during
> this placement. Also, your module assignment(s) may link theory to
> practice in some way, and thereby generate some questions. As it is your
> first placement I imagine that the emphasis will be on learning the
> practical aspects of patient care, and communication and interpersonal
> skills. As for questions, you could ask if there is a student placement
> guide or workbook. You could also ask if you can attend a vascular
> outpatient clinic, observe some vascular investigations or surgery, spend
> time with a vascular specialist nurse or other member of the vascular
> multi-disciplinary team, but probably not on the first day. Finally, any
> tickets left for the Christmas party? I hope it goes well, do let us know.
