Today in clinic I had two appointments, one online screening and one face to face as a follow-up from last week. Before my two appointments I helped a peer with one of their online consultations. I feel like the more experience I can get the better, and the more times I can go through the SOAP procedure the more it can help me become a more well-rounded practitioner. When it came to my online appointment, I already felt more confident than before. The appointment itself was tricky as the client was on a break from work so the depth of assessment, I could do was very limited. However, I was still able to get enough information for me to get an impression of a facet joint issue, as the client’s pain was aggravated through extension. The client was able to go away knowing that they are booked in next week to sort out the pain that had been annoying them for so long. I also had success with my face to face client. It was awkward at first with the PPE, but I was able to overcome it. It was the first time that I have worked with an injured client face to face and it was different. I was afraid to get something wrong, but I am sure with time and confidence this will pass. I am slowly starting to get the hang of writing notes, my presentation is sometimes off with the layout and order of the notes but overall, all the information is there it just needs tweaking. I am really enjoying clinic now; I was not sure if I was going to because of the pandemic but its really good that I have had such as positive start to my placement.
