Clinical chemistry reporting. Problems and proposals.

The completed report is the most obvious interface between the laboratory and the clinician. An unattractive, uninformative, or confusing report may fail to do justice to an excellent analytical service. Unfortunately, relatively little effort has been expended on achieving the best possible report, and individual enthusiasm and initiative has led to widely diverse practices in reporting. There is an urgent need for standardisation of report formats and it is suggested that all reports should include guidance on abnormality, be in cumulative format, and contain a realistic statement of analytical reliability.

How to pass examinations: a personal view on good technique in Clinical Biochemistry examinations.

Elementary faults in examination technique are commonly displayed by candidates who have worked hard for the examination. Advice is offered on answering multiple-choice questions and "essay" questions and on how to tackle oral and practical examinations. A candidate's preparation for an examination should include the submission of written work and the taking of a mock oral examination for critical assessment by a supervisor. Careful writing up of practical work in the home laboratory is important, so that faulty technique can be corrected early in training. Above all, stress is laid on the importance of mastering the technique of effective communication for success both in examinations and in later professional life.
