Training activity information
Details
Perform and analyse the following immunological investigations:
- Protein electrophoresis
- Serum free light chains
- Immunoglobulins
- Immunofixation
- Cryoglobulins
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
- Local SOPs
- Factors influencing the possible outcomes of investigation and relevant control measures
- Quality issues associated with immunology assays used in haematological malignancies
- Limitations of techniques
- Appropriate referral/escalation pathways
- Reference methods, additional/confirmatory techniques
- IQC
