Interpret haematological assays to inform testing strategies, to include:

  • CLL
  • Plasma cell dyscrasias
  • Lymphoma
  • MDS

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

  • Clinical presentation features
  • Correlation with full blood counts, morphology, immunophenotyping, and histopathology
  • Limitations and comparison of methodologies
