Training activity: 7

Details

Shadow a Consultant Pathologist/Scientist reporting a case with integrated histopathology and molecular pathology testing and reflect on their role and the 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

• The responsibility for ensuring the quality of the information provided
• the indications for requesting molecular pathology testing
• The impact on patient management and outcome
• The contribution of inter-related disciplines to the molecular analysis and how this contributes to diagnosis, prognosis and potential targeted therapies
• Communication and sharing expertise between the specialties
• Challenges of accessiblity and sharing data for integrated reporting
