Working in pathology, I have to say my first response was glucose challenge test :)

Seems the challenge test is 2 part test - 1st part is short answer and multiple choice questions. If that is passed, then the candidate can go onto a practical test. http://www.qnc.qld.gov.au/upload/pdfs/information_sheets/Registration/Competence_assessment_service.pdf "It may seem a strange principle to enunciate as the very first requirement in a hospital that it should do the sick no harm." - Florence Nightingale
