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
- Repertoire of available tests
- Role of laboratory tests in diagnosis and monitoring allergic disease
- Guidance documents relating to clinical application of tests
- Special sample handling requirements
- Patient experience
- Relative costs of different types of tests
- Communication of test options and information to users and patients
