Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply quality control tools and techniques in simulated medical provider settings. Through audits, data analysis, and corrective action exercises, learners gain hands-on experience essential for implementing and sustaining quality systems.

Practical Activities
  • Practical 1: Conducting a Mock Audit — Learners perform a simulated audit of a medical provider area using a standard checklist, identifying non-conformances and documenting findings. (4h)
  • Practical 2: Root Cause Analysis and CAPA — Given a quality incident scenario, learners apply root cause analysis tools and develop a corrective and preventive action plan. (4h)
  • Practical 3: Data Analysis and Reporting — Learners analyse provided quality data (e.g., infection rates, patient satisfaction scores) using control charts and create a summary report with recommendations. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 50%
