Portfolio evidence examples

Evidence example 1: Confidentiality Agreement. This piece provides an example of confidentiality agreements used by the pathology department (for work placements, external visitors etc.) to ensure the confidentiality of patient and staff information. The candidate has used a blank template form and annotated each section on how it is completed and why.

This piece was followed up with a sheet of further questions asked by the mentor (not included). Note: The candidate has anonymised the request form and supplemented the evidence piece at the end with a completed competency relating to booking in of samples (again just the relevant extract and not the whole competency  document).
