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

• Consider the elements of their role including:
  • The analytical techniques used for example: pH, conductivity, UV, infra-red, HPLC and titrations
  • The requirements for data integrity and record keeping
  • Microbiology techniques for environmental monitoring and product testing
  • Site testing
  • Local standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Equipment validation and use
