Training activity information

Details

Perform at least one quality measure for an NGS assay, and assess all quality measures from initiation to sequencing

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

  • Quality measures, for example: DNA/RNA quality, library quantification, and sequencer output metrics
  • Local standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Factors impacting on downstream processes
  • Health and safety
