Laboratories & Practical Learning

DR UK Institute DMLT students presenting science exhibition models

Medical laboratory learning areas

The DMLT learning pathway connects clinical biochemistry, microbiology, haematology, pathology and blood-bank workflow with practical records and laboratory safety.

Practical learning also includes observation, supervised handling awareness, correct labelling, cleanliness, traceability and communication of results or records to the authorised person. Activities are taught within the scope of the programme and under instructor guidance.
