Capillary sampling with back-to-laboratory analysis can enable the NHS strategic shift from hospital to community and treatment to prevention by providing a patient-centric alternative to traditional venipuncture.
The newly formed Patient-Centred Testing & Sampling (PaCTS) Group invite you to join them in launching the UK recommendations for capillary blood sampling. As the first published capillary sampling guidelines globally, this marks an important milestone in how laboratories can enable a shift to more patient-centric care.
Hear from Karen Perkins and Sophie Hepburn on ways to navigate this rapidly evolving field whilst keeping safety and quality paramount.
