Training activity information
Details
Perform a virtual crossmatch assessment and prepare a report for a potential transplant recipient according to local policy
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
- National guidelines for risk assessment of solid organ recipients
- Accreditation standards
- Local criteria for cross-match suitability
- Local policy for virtual cross-match suitability
- Clinical interpretation of cross-match results in relation to HLA antibody testing
