Guidelines (1988) for training in clinical laboratory management. International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) Education Division and International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Clinical Chemistry Division Commission on Teaching of Clinical Chemistry.

Trainees in laboratory medicine must develop skills in laboratory management. Guidelines are detailed for laboratory staff in training, directors responsible for staff development and professional bodies wishing to generate material appropriate to their needs. The syllabus delineates the knowledge base required and includes laboratory planning and organisation, control of operations, methodology and instrumentation, data management and statistics, financial management, clinical use of tests, communication, personnel management and training, and research and development. Methods for achievement of the skills required are suggested. A bibliography of IFCC publications and other material is provided to assist in training in laboratory management.

Guidelines for implementation of patient self-testing and patient self-management of oral anticoagulation. International consensus guidelines prepared by International Self-Monitoring Association for Oral Anticoagulation.

AIMS: This document provides health care professionals involved in initiating and monitoring oral anticoagulation therapy with guidelines for the provision of safe and effective patient self-testing/patient self-management of oral anticoagulation. METHODS AND RESULTS: The consensus group has critically reviewed the literature and compared the results of usual care (UC) vs. anticoagulation clinic and patient self-management/patient self-testing (PSM/PST). The education and training of patients for self-monitoring are described, together with the suitability of patients, the effect on quality of life and cost-effectiveness. The consensus agrees that patient self-testing and patient self-management are effective methods of monitoring oral anticoagulation therapy, providing outcomes at least as good as, and possibly better than, those achieved with an anticoagulation clinic. All patients must be appropriately selected and trained. Currently available self-testing/self-management devices give INR results which are comparable with those obtained in laboratory testing. The most frequent testing frequency is weekly but lower frequency of testing can be justified based on institutional or patient conditions. CONCLUSIONS: The consensus agrees that there are several points in favour of PST/PSM, for example, a higher degree of medical safety, increased patient education, improved response to changes in lifestyle, increased independence for the patient and improved quality of life.

Guidelines on the use of photodynamic therapy for nonmelanoma skin cancer: an international consensus. International Society for Photodynamic Therapy in Dermatology, 2005.

Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used to treat nonmelanoma skin cancers, such as actinic keratoses, Bowen's disease, and basal cell carcinoma (superficial and nodular). This article presents up-to-date, practical, evidence-based recommendations on the use of topical PDT using 5-aminolevulinic acid or methyl aminolevulinate for the treatment (and prevention) of nonmelanoma skin cancers. A systematic literature review was conducted (using MEDLINE), and recommendations were made on the basis of the quality of evidence for efficacy, safety/tolerability, cosmetic outcome, and patient satisfaction/preference. Topical PDT is highly effective in the treatment of actinic keratoses, Bowen's disease, superficial and thin nodular basal cell carcinomas, with cosmesis typically superior to that achieved with existing standard therapies. PDT may also be a means of preventing certain nonmelanoma skin cancers in immunosuppressed patients.
