Details

Perform under supervision  point of care testing for ketones (ketometers/dipsticks) and glucose (glucometers)

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.

Considerations

• Local and national training guidelines, including standards and pathways
• Method selection, including assay advantages and limitations, quality parameters, and interferences
• National and international guidelines
• Application of point of care testing, including methodology, governance, and patient experience
