Training activity information

Details

Interpret data from HLA antibody identification tests and identify clinically relevant antibodies

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

  • HLA antibody specificity nomenclature
  • CREGS, public and private epitopes and linkage disequilibrium
  • Local and national legislation, protocols and guidelines for information governance
  • Local procedures and reporting in-line with current accreditation standards
  • Internal quality controls and external quality assessment measures
  • The clinical impact of HLA antibodies for the patient
