Throughout this learning event, you exhibited excellent communication and technical skills, showing a high level of situational awareness and clinical competence Maybe consider having a spare needle available next time to minimise delay or interruption to the procedure As you may not get an opportunity to perform this technique again on a patient for some time, you might wish to consider practising on the simulator to maintain and develop your skills further .
