Training activity information
Details
Perform local laboratory methods for crossmatching donors and recipients for solid organ transplantation
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 laboratory methods for crossmatching donors and recipients for solid organ transplantation
- Internal quality controls and external quality assessment measures
- Method limitations, including cellular/microbiological contamination, false negative and positive reactions, low/high cell yield, poor viability of cells and drug interactions
- Infection control
