#ThankYouNHS to all #BiomedicalScientists working across the @NHS throughout Christmas. Usually unseen, they work #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare to provide blood transfusions & lab tests 24 hrs / day.
If you're getting ready for your shifts, I've written something to make you smile 😬
As a senior biomedical #scientist Holly not only works in the laboratory but also takes responsibility for many of the behind the scenes tasks. Read more here bit.ly/34AXvKc#NationalPathologyWeek
#TodayattheRoyal we are celebrating #NationalPathologyWeek!
It underpins every aspect of patient care, from diagnostic testing and treatment advice to using cutting-edge genetic technologies and preventing disease.
Pop down to the Fish Bowl today to get more information!
This is Beth, an Associate practitioner (AP) in Blood Sciences, one of 8 APs in Blood Sciences. They check almost all samples processed; around 4000 a day for the right tests on the correct patients in a timely manner. #BiomedicalScienceDay2019#AtTheHeartOfHealthcare
Following #BiomedicalScienceDay2019 - Blood bank ensure all bloods transfused are as safe as possible, to save or improve quality of life. In 2018 more than 23,000 group and saves were processed with 8,670 transfusions, 16 were emergencies.
That's a lot of lives saved! #thankyou
As you settle down for the night, we have one biomedical scientist covering haematology and blood bank and another covering biochemistry. They work together to receive samples and ensure that the work is processed in a timely manner. #BiomedicalScienceDay#AtTheHeartOfHealthcare
#TodayAtTheRoyal we're saying 'hello' to the Blood Sciences team, made up of Haematology, Coagulation, Blood Bank, Biochemistry and Special Chemistry. It's #BiomedicalScienceDay2019 so we'll be giving you a little insight into their laboratory.
More to come throughout the day!
#TodayAtTheRoyal it's #BiomedicalScienceDay2019. Ellie Ringland is a Clinical Scientist who doesn't work directly with patients, contributing to quality improvement through audits and quality control data. She's part of the amazing team contributing to your care in Blood Sciences
