At every stage of your training, you will be expected to contribute to the effective management of your lab. There are a number of management challenges that you will be faced with throughout your career – some more common than others. We will explore several of these, in groups, to benefit from everyone’s insight and experience, and present an action plan of how you would tackle each of these in turn. We aim to provide a foundation of knowledge for how you will tackle other challenges going forward.

Topic name: Novel biomarkers for mild Traumatic Brain Injury – reducing need for head CT in Emergency Department
Topic overview: Join us to learn about the biomarkers GFAP and UCH-L1 and their role in early rule-out of mild TBI (concussion), followed by a Q&A about how our new TBI blood test is being evaluated in NHS sites. These brain-specific markers are now available as a simpleSTAT blood test from Abbott, and can assist in early rule out of mTBI (concussion), offering potential to avoid CT scans in approximately 30-40% of suspected mTBI cases. This helps improve workflow through NHS Emergency Departments and acute Radiology services, freeing up clinical resources for other patients.

Topic name: 5 Things Labgnostic Can’t Do’
Topic overview: Our core product, Labgnostic, is a service which connects diagnostic organisations (primarily pathology labs) together through a single exchange hub. Labgnostic -which which was previously known as NPEx (the National Pathology Exchange) in the UK and has been used here since 2006 -has become the market leader in connecting labs together.
As with all products, there’s myths about what it can do and, probably more often, frustrations about what it can’t do. Have you ever found yourself saying: ‘Labgnostic can’t support genomics’; or ‘Labgnostic can’t handle high volumes’? We hear you, and we’re inviting you to join us on a journey of myth-busting and investigation into what the Labgnostic service can’t do or, more accuratley, all the things Labgnostic can do.
