For tomorrow’s induction shift, Elena will observe the first-line team. She will not make independent checking decisions. Karim is responsible for the equipment briefing at eight thirty. Elena should bring her training notes, and any question about authority should go to the duty supervisor before she acts.

The observation is part of a longer training plan. Last month, new colleagues were asked to learn several procedures at once, and some were uncertain about whom to contact. This time, the team has divided induction into three stages. First, Elena will listen to the equipment briefing and check that she can identify the person responsible for each item. Next, she will watch an experienced colleague explain a routine procedure. Finally, she will describe what she observed and identify anything she did not understand. The aim is not to test how quickly she can work. It is to make sure that she recognises the limits of her role and can ask useful questions. A signed attendance sheet will show that she was present, but it will not by itself show that she is ready to work independently. At the end of the shift, her mentor will discuss two situations with her and decide which skills need more practice. If the team becomes busy, the mentor should shorten the observation rather than leave Elena without support.
