Procedures

Common Mistakes: Procedures

Specialty-wise procedural skills — the hands-on interventions a resident performs, mapped to the same NMC competency framework as diagnostic skills.

Common mistakes to avoid

• ✕Not logging assisted procedures because they weren't performed independently
• ✕Omitting complications instead of documenting and discussing them
• ✕Batch-entering procedures weeks after they happened, losing case-specific detail
