Training activity information
Details
Perform and technically validate investigation of immunodeficiency to include all of the following:
- Immunoglobulins and IgG subclasses
- Specific antibody responses to vaccine antigens
- Complement levels and function
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
- Sample type, handling/acceptance criteria
- Factors affecting assay validity
- Reference methods
- Performance characteristics, including sensitivity and specificity
- Uncertainty of measurement
- Guidelines and diagnostic criteria
- IQC and EQA, including challenges with quality control procedures
- Analytical and clinical
