Training activity information

Details

Observe the analysis of patient results, and reflect on the analysis process

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

  • Reflect on the analysis, including:
    • Best practice guidelines
    • Importance of accurate referral information
    • Integrated reporting, including use of information from other tests and specialties
    • Recognising expected outcomes
    • Incidental findings
    • Patient confidentiality, including information governance and data protection
    • Quality control
    • Sensitivity and specificity and limits of detection
    • Key reference sources
