 ABSTRACT

The historical progression of Anatomy as a scientific field can be traced from

early examinations of sacrificial individuals to the sophisticated evaluations of

the human body conducted by contemporary researchers. The significance of

human anatomy lies in its ability to provide an understanding of the body's

visible structures and the microscopic characteristics of cells and tissues,

which are crucial for diagnosing and treating pathological conditions.

This report encapsulates the knowledge gained during my six-month

industrial training in the laboratory and nursing department. The activities

carried out in these areas enabled me to engage in practical work, make

observations, and conduct experiments on various specimens in the lab.

Additionally, it enhanced my skills in caring for and promoting the health of

patients dealing with various illnesses.

INTRODUCTION

Background of Study

This comprehensive documentation encompasses the diverse tasks

and experiences I encountered during my six-month industrial

training program. The primary aim of this industrial training is to

impart practical knowledge to students in their respective fields of

study, preparing them for future career prospects.

 The Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) stands as a

valuable avenue for students to gain hands-on exposure in their

chosen academic disciplines, enhancing their readiness for

prospective employment opportunities. My time spent over half a year

at Family Health Care Hospital in Lagos State profoundly deepened

my grasp of the practical facets of Human Anatomy.

SIWES is meticulously structured to acquaint students with various

machinery and equipment, professional work methodologies, and the

imperative safety measures associated with workplaces across diverse

industries and organizations. The standard duration for participation

in the Student Industrial Work Experience Scheme usually spans 24

weeks. Nevertheless, specific engineering and technology programs

entail a more extended period of 40 weeks. This endeavor operates as

a tripartite collaboration involving students, universities, and

industries, fostering a comprehensive learning experience.

Aims/ Objectives of Study

i. The aim of the is to provide health care services to individuals

ii. The medical Health Center also provides training for medical students

and students related to medical field.

iii. To provide clinical and research delivery.

Brief Statement on medical center.

BODY OF REPORT

LABORATORY DEPARTMENT
A medical laboratory is a place where tests are conducted out on a

clinical specimen (blood samples, urine, vaginal swab, oral swab

etc) to help obtain information the health of a patient to aid in

prevention of disease, and diagnosis treatment.

The laboratory department can also be divided into various

departments such as (chemistry, hematology, microbiology,

immunology, pathology, and cytology).and each of this department

have their own functions.

HEMATOLOGY

This is a study of blood and blood disease. Hematologist helps in

classifying blood cells into different categories.

MICROBIOLOGY

Microbiology is the study of microorganisms in the body examples

are ( fungi, algae, bacteria, viruses etc). The microbiologist culture

any bodily fluids presented by the patient to help determine any

infectious disease.

CYTOLOGY

Cytotechnologist help examine human cells under the microscope to

determine early signs of terminal diseases.

 TOOLS USED IN THE LABORATORY UNIT

The equipment used are:

▪ Centrifuge

▪ Computer

▪ Microscope

▪ Hematology analyzer

▪ Oven

▪ Instruments such as (slides, rack, beaker, urine and blood bottles, trips

etc)

Safety practice

1. Eating in the laboratory is not allowed.

2. Do not use any damaged electrical machines for it will alter the results.

3. Always wear covered clothes and shoes to cover your exposed skin to

prevent from any splash.

4. Wearing of long hairs without properly packed or wearing of jewelry is not

safe in the laboratory.

5. Always practice good personal hygiene

 6. Properly dispose all laboratory waste

Specific work done

I collected collected samples(blood, fluids) from the patient’s, then I was

asked to run tests prescribe by the doctor on the samples. I analyze the

samples with machine and some staining reagents to help get a clear view of

the cells.

LABORATORY INSTRUMENT

1. Microscope

2. Centrifuge
3. Incubator
 4. Hematology Analyzer

NURSING DEPARTMENT

The nursing sector assumes a vital function in the healthcare

domain,offering patient care, aid, and collaborating with healthcare

practitioners. Nurses are trained to work in various settings e.g

institutions, hospitals, clinics, etc. Their responsibilities encompass

duties like dispensing medications, overseeing patient conditions, and

delivering emotional assistance. Nursing department can also be

divided into different categories like pediatric nursing, intensive care,

and mental health nursing etc. The nursing department is an essential

component of the healthcare system.

Specific work done

I checked patient’s vitals ( weight, height, blood level, oxygen level,

temperature, heart rate etc). I forwarded their results and complains to

the doctor with the computer for consultation and investigation. I also

dispensed take home drugs prescribed by the doctor to the patient. I

assisted In cesarean section of delivery and also vaginal delivery of a

baby.

Safety practice

1. Practicing of good personal hygiene; washing of hands and

sanitizing them and Always wearing of gloves.

2. Properly dispose all waste used ( needles, gloves, swabs etc)

3. Administration of the right drugs proscribed by the doctor.

 CONCLUSION

The industrial training had, at Family care health center elegusi,

Lagos State, has helped me both morally and

academically. Academically, the training has improved my

understanding in caring for patients and also given me knowledge on

how to prevent myself and others to live an healthy

lifestyle . ​ Morally, I have learnt to adopt the right attitude to work,

to be diligent and hardworking. It has also improved my interactions

with people especially during my posting to the nursing

department. In conclusion, industrial training for student is paramount

for tertiary institution.
