Training activity information
Details
Perform embryo transfers to maintain embryo viability
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 SOPs/protocols
- Aseptic technique and implications and risks of incorrect use
- Effect of environmental variables on sample viability
- Difficult embryo transfers
- Choice of embryo transfer catheter
- Communication with the multidisciplinary team
- HFEA witnessing requirements and implications of incorrect witnessing
