Members of the outpatient clinic team know the process of identifying RTW patients before their appointment with surgeon: • how • when • where | Discussion (Elaboration Likelihood Model) | Encouraging consideration of topic in open formal debate. | Listening to learner to ensure correct schemas are activated. | Each member of team has own study pack containing this information. |
Providing Cues (Theories of Information Processing) | Assuring that the same cues are present at the time of learning and time of retrieval. | Work best when people select and provide own cues. | Study pack uses chunking, advance organisers and imagery methods to aid learning | |
Individualisation /tailoring (Trans-Theoretical Model) | Matching to participant characteristics | Tailoring to participant, relevant to learner’s needs | Staff to suggest cues to action, e.g. posters/photos on ward/in clinic Tailored staff training | |
