Brief summary

The primary outcome of this study is to establish construct validity and reliability of the RAPS checklist. Construct validity describes the ability of the tool to measure the criteria under assessment, and its discriminatory power to differentiate novice versus skilled proceduralists. Reliability of the tool is its ability to be reproducible between different assessors.

Interventions

Validation of a direct observed procedural skills assessment tool for regional anaesthesia. This tool is constructed as a checklist with objective criteria for satisfactory completion of procedural tasks in the performance of a nerve block. This checklist is completed immediately after the nerve block is performed.
