Training activity information
Details
Follow the pathway for routine and urgent samples throughout the laboratory from specimen reception to result reporting and reflect on the process.
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

- Flow of samples, sample receipt, acceptance criteria, and sample handling
- Different request types, including electronic, and paper
- Sample sources and users
- Turnaround times and priorities samples
