Oct

- LOCATION
- Virtual via Zoom
This event is being delivered in partnership with bioMérieux.
Exponential growth in Point of Care Testing (POCT) requires engaged leadership from senior pathology scientists to ensure only high quality results are produced and used to direct patient management. In her talk Katy Heaney will reflect on the challenges of providing a high quality POCT service in the community and using technology to respond to errors, troubleshoot and remotely monitor the use of a service.
Adoption of POCT requires working across the whole healthcare system. Mandy Townsend will reflect on the challenges of working across systems on new community pathways, the lessons learned in the North West and the importance of real-world evidence to support the changes required for successful implementation.
This event will be chaired by Professor Angharad Davies, RCPath Clinical Director for Publishing and Engagement. A Q&A will follow the talks.
This event will take place at 12:30pm and last approximately 1 hour.
