CONGRESS 2023 - Embedding sustainability in the clinical laboratory - partnerships, Point-of-Care Testing and Getting It Right First Time

28/09/2023
As the climate health crisis continues to escalate, governments and key NHS leaders are recognising the need for change. There is growing sector awareness of the impact of the lab on the environment and it is now time for laboratory medicine to consider the role POCT can play in achieving NHS net zero carbon targets. Centres for Sustainable Healthcare propose four principles for sustainable healthcare: prevention, patient self-care, lean service delivery and low carbon alternatives.

This presentation considers the role GIRFT and POCT can have, in supporting these principles of sustainable healthcare and promoting greener diagnostic pathways.

CONGRESS 2023 - Implementation of Blood on Board: A laboratory perspective

28/09/2023
The Air Ambulance covering Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland first approached Blood Transfusion in February 2021 to discuss the idea of them being able to carry blood on the aircraft so they can carry out lifesaving transfusions at the roadside. In the previous months the medics on board had been documenting those patients they had attended that they thought would have benefited from being transfused at the scene of an injury.

The majority of these were road traffic accidents and stabbings where blood loss had led to severe morbidity or even mortality. After months of meetings discussing what equipment was needed (e.g. blood boxes, temperature monitoring devices, storage etc.), finances, validation procedures and trialling the process we finally started providing blood on board in February 2022.
