Training activity information
Details
Perform local laboratory methods for HLA antibody detection and definition
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
- Principles of HLA antibody production
- Sources of HLA sensitisation
- Selection and principles of laboratory methods for HLA antibody detection and definition
- Assay operational and performance characteristics
- Internal quality controls and external quality assessment measures
- Method limitations
- Troubleshooting
- Clinical significance of HLA and non- HLA antibodies in transplantation
- Infection control
