Standard 4: Pathology laboratory supervision – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 4.08: S laboratory: perform a limited range of tests for a target population related to the designated person's qualifications, skills and scope, apply for GX status if wider testing is planned, and have a designated person who is a specialist medical practitioner (not a pathologist) able to supervise SB laboratories in the network when onsite supervision is unavailable and to delegate operations and preanalytical and analytical phases to scientists and clinical scientists with appropriate scope

What does 4.08 require?

An S laboratory sticks to a narrow test repertoire for a defined patient group, tied to what its designated person is qualified and credentialed to do; if it wants to test more widely it seeks GX status. Its designated person is a specialist doctor other than a pathologist, able to cover SB laboratories in the network when no one is onsite, and able to pass supervision of day-to-day operations, and of the pre-analytical and analytical work, to scientists or clinical scientists whose scope fits.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 17-S Category S (Specialised): a laboratory under the full-time direction, control and supervision of a non-pathologist specialist medical practitioner, rendering a limited range of testing for a target population or of a specialised nature within that practitioner's scope, including its branch, the workforce-shortage variant and the S(FC) fertility control laboratory

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
