clinical chemical analysis;
- demonstrate an integrated theoretical and technical knowledge of quality assurance
application and interpretation;
- apply recognized methods and tools of clinical biochemistry in a clinical/medical
investigative context;
- reflect on current skills, knowledge and attitudes, in order to plan and implement
ongoing personal and professional development needs, relevant to clinical biochemistry
and working as a professional medical laboratory scientist;
- exercise judgment to interpret and comment on data collected during practical/clinical
sessions and the interpretation of clinical case studies.
