You wonder how to contribute to make science more sustainable? One way is to think about your pipetting scheme before conducting your experiment. That could save plastic waste and maybe even make your lab work smoother. #Sustainability #Green #Laboratory #Conference #GLW

Professor Jo Martin from the Royal College of Pathologists has said: “NHS pathology services play a crucial role in supporting patient care, and as Vice Chair of the group I have valued the focus on clinical care and workforce.' We will continue to work hard to support the NHS.

Have you wondered whether scientific research could be more environmentally sustainable and what you can do to help bring this about? In this article, we hear from those working to implement lab sustainability programmes at the University of Oxford doi.org/10.1042/bio_20…

The first diagnostic centre has now opened in Grantham and is set to relieve pressure on local hospitals, helping to improve patient access to strokes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease treatments. Read more about the opening here → bit.ly/3Pga0ms #diagnostic #nhs

>50% of the carbon footprint of a blood test is attributable to the collection process: tubes, collection system components, gloves, gowns, sample bags, pathology, patient & phlebotomist transport. We can help you reduce this footprint and optimise the preanalytical phases #CCG

A day is held each year to raise awareness for the ever-growing need to develop a vaccine for the deadly infection of #AIDS and #HIV. As well as raising awareness for this infection, the day also celebrates those who work tirelessly to develop a solution to this ongoing problem.

#Cancer Research revealed that more than 65,000 people are waiting for a cancer diagnosis every month → bit.ly/3a3HhBr GP Liaison can assist you in mapping your patient at risk cohort and designing services where it would create the most impact on patient demand. #nhs

We help identify potential risks within the community phlebotomy process chain. We undertake an analysis of specimens most at risk of degradation due to inefficient transport scheduling & unsatisfactory specimen handling processes, helping identify new & more efficient services.

Add in unnecessary swabs & urines. Improving diagnostic stewardship could: ⬇️Costs ⬆️Quality ⬇️Direct & indirect harms of unnecessary reflex Ix & Abx ⬇️Environmental impact We're looking at this at Chorley & Royal Preston with Continuous Improvement @ LTHTR Will share our findings!

Carol from our Clinical Chemistry team recently received a Hero of the Month award from Joel Newman. Carol is exceptionally organised and constantly goes above and beyond for her team. Without her, the lab would not be the same. #NHSHeros #pathology

Meanwhile, our #HealthcareScience #BiomedicalScience team on the ward are liaising with clinical teams to identify how we can work together to develop communication between the laboratory and the clinical areas…

Fact Friday 🩸 Did you know that there are 150 billion red blood cells in one ounce of blood and that the human body actually creates 17 million red blood cells per second? The human body is capable of some pretty amazing things! #factfriday #nhs #diagnostics #pathology

This NHS #sustainabilitydayofaction we are pleased to annouce Clinical Labs susnet is live networks.sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/network/clinic…. A new Centre for Sustainable Healthcare online sustainability networking space for clinical laboratory professionals and educators across biomedical and healthcare science

Looking forward to hearing Chris Hodgson today address the South East Green Plan celebration event. #sustainability #NHS #HealthCare

Check out this page... networks.sustainablehealthcare.org.uk/networks/clini… There is a growing community of laboratory scientists who wish to reduce the environmental impact of clinical diagnostics. Take a look at this Centre for Sustainable Healthcare post from Sheri Scott and come and join us!

A very special message from IBMS President Debra Padgett (Debra Padgett) on #BiomedicalScienceDay2023! #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare
