This is great! Finally, a profile reflecting this important component of patient care.
Great video. Unfortunatley up here in Muskoka “we won’t be here” at least not on the night shift in the lab as management at Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare is canning the night shift and replacing it with what they like to call “Point of Care Testing” . Point of Care testing is testing that occurs at the bedside. The set up here will be a mini lab in the ER department in which Nurses who are not qualified in Medical Lab Technology performing the testing not a Qualified Medical Lab Technologist who is trained, qualified and experienced in lab testing.
