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.

- Sample handling requirements
- Local SOPs
- Principles of methods of measurement
- Alternative methods in use
- Variation of normal ranges of sIgE with allergen
- Control materials
- Control charts and quality control rules
- Regulatory requirements for monitoring quality
- Turnaround times for tests
- EQA schemes
