Details

Follow the sample pathways for a patient requiring multiple tests through the immunology lab, and reflect on the journey

Type

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.

  • For example, a sample requiring autoimmune testing or immune deficiency workup including reflex testing
  • Consider the appropriateness of the tests being carried out
  • Appreciate the clinical appropriateness of turnaround times
  • Consider the validity of the results, including clinical interpretation and release of results
