DOCUMENT SUBMISSION CHECKLIST
Once you have completed all sections of your portfolio this page should completed by you and your supervisor.
Under current IACSD guidance, any practitioner who was not practising sedation independently prior to April 2015, is designated a 'New Starter' and will need to undergo a period of supervised clinical practice before being able to practise sedation independently.
The SAAD National course provides the required underpinning knowledge and also an introduction to the clinical skills for sedation, but it is then necessary to undertake supervised clinical experience before embarking on independent practice.
If you are a new starter, and not completing your supervised sedation experience as part of a University or Postgraduate Deanery run training scheme, or with a STAC approved supervisor, then you should also consider registering for the SAAD Assessed scheme.
SAAD has put together some scenarios and prompts covering sedation related complications, that can be adapted for use by individual sedation teams.
