Details

Shadow a Healthcare Scientist in Transfusion Science, reflect on their role

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

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

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Reflect on the role of a Healthcare Scientist in Transfusion considering:
  • The day to day role of a Healthcare Scientist in Transfusion Science
  • The team the Healthcare Scientist works with, how they work together and the supervisory responsibilities of the role
  • The allocation of resources and shift patterns required to provide a 24/7 service
  • The decision-making processes where information and time is limited and implications for personal and professional responsibility
