Blood transfusion training manual

[NAN47]

Hi everyone

I am currently providing some input into a new training manual which is being prepared for the blood transfusion laboratory. Basically this manual involves lots of theory questions and then the assessment of the individuals ability to perform a task and achieve a level of competency suitable to working unsupervised during the out of hours service. I would be interested to know how other laboratories achieve such an aim, in terms of what methods are used to demonstrate a persons competency...ie witness statements, reflective learning statements . My thinking is that instead of lots of theory questions, to produce worksheets such as identification of blood groups from serological reactions etc Basically I am looking for interesting ways to provide documentary evidence of an individuals knowledge, but which is also achievable within a busy laboratory environment.

Grateful for any thoughts

Thanks
