Labs are Vital had a successful launch in 2007 and has enlisted a large number of supporters. The project is now moving ahead in 2008 to start raising the profile of laboratories and the important role they have in patient healthcare. It is important that the message is taken to the heart of senior management within trusts and SHAs and service commissioners. To help achieve this objective the project team wishes to contact senior managers in healthcare who used to work in pathology to seek their professional advice. If you are in trust senior management, PCT or SHA senior management and you used to work in pathology (or you know someone who did) and would be willing to be contacted by the Labs are Vital team please email Sarah May at the Institute of Biomedical Science at sarahmay@ibms.org
