Part 1 – Practice 1) Key focused questions
For example (see evidence 1)
If you was to have a client with sensitive skin and very dry and brittle hair which oil would you use and why?
This is an open question and would have several possible answers which will lead to discussion this will require learners to develop deep discussion and evaluate why this oil would benefit a client.

(See evidence 2)
This can be used effectively as it can develop a wide range of comfortable ways of self-assessing, checking and adjusting. This will encourage learners to check their own work and self-assess where needs further improvement.
Observation
Observation can be used effectively as watching learner perform skills will relate to giving feedback and provide questioning. Providing positive feedback will improve learners confidence and questioning develop their potential.
For example I used key focused questioning for my learners whilst observing. Questioning I used
How does u think the client felt while you carried out the treatment?
What would you do if a client had a reaction to the oil?
This will able me to assess my learner and develop their potential.
The Feedback given to my learners was positive with areas of improvements. For example on of the verbal feedback given to my learner thought out the observation was
Great IHM. Lovely pressure used throughout the treatment. Excellent client care. Client seemed comfortable and relaxed trough out treatment. Consultation could use more questioning to gain more insight to what client outcomes of the treatment is. Great aftercare given at end of treatment. Remember to offer a glass of water offer each treatment. Overall a very good IHM treatment. Well done
