Be the Digestive System's Personal Assistant
Ensure everything flows smoothly in the 'gut job' department. It's the art of coaxing colons and cajoling colitis into cooperation, all while maintaining a poker face in the face of, well, poop. In essence, it's the glamorous world of keeping the 'down under' functioning like a top-secret spy mission, one bowel movement at a time!

In sum, bowel care training is a fundamental component of comprehensive healthcare education, enhancing outcomes, promoting well-being, and upholding the core principles of compassionate and respectful care.
Short Video Presentation to Demonstrate Competence
When creating your one to two minute long self-assessment video for Critical Seconds’ assessment, it's important to demonstrate the practical application of your new skills. Try to keep your demonstration in line with module criteria to clearly show your understanding.

Within this timeframe, you must clearly articulate your understanding of key concepts. Begin with a brief introduction, state which module you’ll be discussing, then the body of the video should focus on summarising the core skills learned, with examples and your video demonstration. Also, you can briefly reflect on how this skill will be applied in real-world scenarios.
