@TenaciousRhys I let my BMS registration lapse as I can still do all lab work and interpretation with my CS registration, but can’t do the clinical stuff with just BMS. I didn’t see point in paying twice and haven’t had any issues for past 4 years.

[Sheffield Laboratory Medicine @SheffLabMed]

Our annual Virology Scientific Meeting organised by Virology in the Lab Med.🔬 Back after COVDIS restrictions, hope to see you there on 27th Jan. 🧪🥼

@nowthenmag The proposed site is woefully inappropriate for any development, whether it be traveller plots, housing or industry. The roads around the area are chocker day and night. Can’t get off the estate for parked cars on road for spoons. Needs re- thinking, and quick!
