Training activity information
Details
Use local molecular based techniques in accordance with quality standards for HLA typing
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
- Local procedures
- Clinical indications
- The local repertoire, source of requests and turnaround times for investigations performed
- Selection of appropriate molecular based technique(s) to achieve required HLA typing resolution
- Internal quality controls and external quality assessment measures
- Troubleshooting
- Principles of PCR
- Principles of HLA typing assays
- Infection control
