Course objectives
Course main objectives The aim of theoretical part of education in immunohaematology is given to understand separate laboratory procedures principles which are currently used in immunohaematology and acquirement of knowledge in relation to its application in laboratory praxis. The accent is putting on ability of separate laboratory results interpretation and/or group laboratory results interpretation to clinical patient hood. Professional theoretical training in HLA covers laboratory testing HLA complex and laboratory results interpretation in relation to solid organs transplant strategy and in relation to strategy of bone marrow donors registry as far as laboratory results interpretation in relation to immunized patients. Theoretical part of education of transfusion service covers background and principles of good manufacturing praxis in preparation, use and quality assurance of transfusion products (allogeneic, autologous) and plasma for fractionation, including quality management and process control, personnel and organisation, equipment and materials, documentation, donor selection, processing, storage and distribution, quality monitoring, quality control, contract management, deviations, complaints, corrective and preventive actions, self inspection, audits and improvement, data processing systems, record keeping, statistical process control, background of safe haemotherapy, principles of haemovigilance system, including types of adverse reactions description and its reporting.
Learning outcomes
After course completing programme the student will be able: - transfusion service legislation orientate, - respect principles of good laboratory praxis and good manufacturing praxis, - know principles of haemovigilace and haemotherapy, - qualify accuracy of indication and interpretation of immunohaematology laboratory results, - recognize cases for following testing, - analytic methods orientate.
