OUT OF the LOOP

Hey guys, Hope you are all doing well. I survived neuro...woo hoo! It was an amazing four weeks which i thoroughly enjoyed. My blog is about feeling "out of the loop", which i think we often feel as a student. Where do you stand, talk, does your opinion matter etc.? While on this prac. you receive your own patients, however you are not involved in any discussion about them for example in attending the team meetings. I found this very hard as it felt like you were "out of the loop." It was difficult to determine what the plan was for each of your patients and often information was not passed on to you as a student. To add to this the supervisor discussed with me that i needed to be more aware of the d/c plan and liasing with the allied health team. But how am I meant to know this when i am totally unaware of what is happening. It made for much more extra work and was very frustrating. On a previous prac. I attended the team meetings with my physio and therefore was well aware of the plan for each and could therefore treat accordingly. Just wondereing if anyone else out there is feeling a little bit "out of the loop" and any suggestions as to how to overcome this or is it just something to put up with as a student.
