SUMMARY

Being a professional means that you demonstrate the skills, the demeanor and the standard of
conduct appropriate to your position. This module brings together a number of the professional
aspects of being a plaster technician. It is not intended to be a practical guide to the application of
certain kinds of casts. It is aimed at ensuring that you have a basic understanding of the general
aspects of working in an environment where casting takes place. Hopefully it will encourage you to
develop your skills by seeking further training in areas such as First Aid so that you may enhance
your professional practice.

Being known as a professional has significant connotations. It means that you put the care of your
patient above all things that you treat each individual with integrity and in a manner that you would
wish for yourself or your family.
