Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MSL975072 - Use surgical cut-up techniques for non-complex tissue specimens

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare equipment for specimen cut-up

  1. Set up and confirm integrity of instruments and consumables for safe, contaminant-free and efficient transfer process
  2. Load and handle blade safely
  3. Check ventilation system is operational and adequate for the task and report any deficiencies in accordance with workplace procedures

Interpret clinical information

  1. Confirm patient identification in accordance with workplace procedures
  2. Review clinical notes linked to the specimen and identify information relevant to the surgical cut-up process
  3. Critically evaluate information and determine its application to the processing of the individual specimen
  4. Determine requirements for selective sampling based on clinical information

  5. Record or visually capture details of any significant findings using appropriate terminology and in accordance with specimen-specific workplace procedures
  6. Accurately record cassette contents and block key information
  7. Retain specimen and/or container and dispose of waste in accordance with workplace procedures
  8. Follow workplace procedures for safe removal and disposal of sharps
  9. Follow workplace procedures for safe disposal of chemical and biological waste
  10. Use decontamination techniques to prevent cross-contamination
