IBMS welcomes Carter Report
Monday 22nd December 2008
Recommendations made in a review of NHS pathology services have been welcomed by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS).
The Carter Report looked into ways in which patients' experiences can be improved as well as cost-cutting potential.
And the IBMS described it as "thorough and informed", noting that the prioritisation of IT connectivity in particular will be useful.
"It has been a long-standing source of frustration to laboratory professionals that inefficiencies in the sample collection and result transmission/delivery systems reflect negatively upon the diagnostic and interpretive service," the body stated.
Professional development for those in biomedical science jobs was also recommended and the IBMS called for the extension of qualifications and awards that have been designed for use at all levels.
The IBMS was established in 1912 and currently represents the interests of over 16,000 members in biomedical science jobs, in addition to promoting public awareness of the field.
