A new initiative called “Come Visit Our Laboratory” has been launched by the IBMS.
It features a poster for IBMS members to print, which was created by the IBMS and Sobana Qadus, a biomedical scientist at Manchester Foundation Trust. The idea is to encourage other healthcare professionals to visit the laboratory and gain a better understanding of the job of biomedical scientists.
The poster says: “Come visit our laboratory because we all provide the best patient care when we understand each other.”
Sobana said: “In healthcare, building effective communication and working practices can mean the difference between life and death. The best outcomes for patients are usually achieved when we all work together, learn together and progress our practices and services together.”
The poster can be downloaded from the IBMS website and printed out in A4 or A3 and put up in staff rooms – encouraging people to get in touch and arrange laboratory tours.
