Lab team enjoys Biomedical Science Day

Lab team enjoys Biomedical Science Day

One of our laboratory teams, based at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn as part of the EPA (Eastern Pathology Alliance), that provides tests for our Biochemistry, Blood Transfusion, Haematology, Andrology and Microbiology services, have hosted a cake sale and a raffle and organised tours of their lab for visitors and colleagues.

They marked ‘Biomedical Science Day’ on 8 June by encouraging people to take up a career within healthcare laboratories.

Colleagues also helped to collect over £260 that has been donated to Norfolk Blood Bikes, a charity that transports urgent or emergency blood and blood products across the county’s hospitals.

We want your thoughts!

We have developed an ongoing user and patient survey to enable us to continue making improvements to our service. We would really appreciate your feedback.

Labelling

Important information regarding labelling

Thank you for supporting Eastern Pathology Alliance with correct labelling requirements.

Incorrect labelling introduces risk of relabelling errors, delays patient results and increases workload of the laboratory.

Please share this with your staff, as this is crucial for patient safety and timely results
