Training activity information
Details
Prepare representative patient samples from a range of tissue types and identify the following types of inflammatory processes:
- Acute inflammation
- Chronic inflammation
- Granulomatous inflammation
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
- Types of inflammation, including inflammatory cell types, their roles and the stages of inflammation
- Disease states associated with inflammation and risk to the patient
- Identification of inflammation
- Normal levels of inflammation
- Local SOPs
- Specimen block sampling and macroscopic description
- Quality of blocks
- RCPath tissue pathways
- Macroscopic pathological features specific to the disease entity
- Selection of adjunct histological techniques to demonstrate the different cell types and agents involved in inflammatory processes
