Southern Region meeting with UK NEQAS Clinical Chemistry

Following in the footsteps of the London Marathon, friends and colleagues old and new descended on London on Monday 22 April 2024 for the LabMed Southern Region meeting which was jointly organised with UK NEQAS Clinical Chemistry to celebrate the career of Les Perry, Consultant Clinical Scientist, South West London Pathology.  Les has been a strong supporter of UK NEQAS over the years and has chaired our Immunoassay Specialist Advisory Group for a very long time!  Laboratory Medicine should be indebted to him for his ideas and knowledge that have guided the EQA Schemes over the last decade or so.

The programme was organised to be themed on topics that Les is passionate about, namely endocrinology and training/supporting trainees.  We were honoured that many of the ‘great-and-good’ turned out to support this meeting and I am sure everyone in the audience realised that they were in for a treat!  The meeting itself was not just a celebration but contained example after example of really sound, solid, science which emphasised the strength of the pioneering work that came out of the UK leading and pioneering immunoassay and endocrinology.
