8.7 Incident Reporting & Injury Reporting Process

If you are attending your Consolidation Professional Practice Placement and you are injured, please advise your PSW Preceptor and your Clinical Advisor immediately. Your Clinical Advisor will notify the agency, the PSW Placement Coordinator and the PSW Program Coordinator. Your Clinical Advisor will connect with you and the agency to complete the appropriate Incident Form(s).

Incident forms are time sensitive, and need to be completed within 24 hrs.
You may be required to provide medical documentation to return to the Clinical Professional Practice setting.
