Training activity information
Details
Review the Standards for Microbiological Investigations (SMIs) related to samples you have followed through the laboratory and reflect on how this guides practice
Type
Observational training activity (OTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.
Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.
Considerations
- Impact of the standards on the laboratory, service users, management, and workload
- Adherence to best practice vs. deviation from best practice
