Training activity information
Details
Interpret performance for EQA/interlaboratory comparisons for a range of assays involved in assessing potential immunodeficiency or immune response to pathogens, problem solve where required, including:
- Immune monitoring
- Interferon gamma release assays
- Specific proteins
- Assays not covered by EQA schemes
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Range of EQA schemes
- Process for investigation of results out of consensus or bias
- Interlaboratory comparisons on assays without EQA schemes
- Limitations of EQA schemes
