Training activity information
Details
Prepare patient samples for molecular testing at another site and/or organisation
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
- Sample acceptance criteria
- Sample identification
- Data capture
- Transport requirements
- Impact of cold ischaemic time, including fixation, decalcification etc (pre-analytical factors) on samples
- Internal quality control
- Consent, use and storage of human tissue marked for genomic studies
- External quality assurance (GenQA)
- Reliability of results
- Patient safety
