Training activity information
Details
Follow a sample through the laboratory pathway from sample receipt to final report, and reflect on the journey
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.
Considerations
- Reflect on the journey, including:
- Different sample types and processing required for each.
- Prioritisation and organisation of pathways according to the time requirements for sample processing and/or clinical urgency
- Manual and automated processes
- Health and safety requirements for different processes
- Roles of different staff groups in the sample pathway
