Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Considerations

Considerations are suggestions about what may be useful for the trainee to think about while undertaking a training activity. They should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to demonstrate or provide evidence for each of the considerations listed.

• Consider Laboratory accreditation, including:
  • The performance standards required for accreditation
  • Scope of practice
  • Staff competency, training and continuous professional development
  • Local and national and international standards
  • Quality management system
  • Audit trail
