Training activity information
Details
Prepare representative patient samples from a range of tissue types, identify the presence and pathological manifestation of infections caused by the following:
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Fungi
- Parasites
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
- Role of the patient history in developing the clinical picture and selection of adjunct histochemical, immunohistochemical, molecular and other techniques
- Appropriateness of investigation
- Microscopical differences between normal tissue morphology and infected tissue
- Local SOPs
- RCPath tissue pathways and cancer datasets
- Infection control and notifiable diseases
