New assay now live in Automated Biochemistry. A salivary test for determining the presence oesophageal gastric acid to aid in diagnosis of gastric reflux and rule out cardiac involvement (alongside ecg and Troponin) in the presentation of chest pain. #April1st

April fools…

@robshorten @amyreadmicro @WestonLabMed Exactly right! It’s a ‘sterile’ fluid bottle

[Patrick Simms #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare @Paddy_s13]

@skippergimp @WestonLabMed That is a tremendous analogy!

[Patrick Simms #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare @Paddy_s13]

@Jaynebiddiscom1 @WestonLabMed 25th too!

@skippergimp @WestonLabMed @WeBMScientists Aircon must be on the blink again. Oh well, it encourages staff to wear their lab coats properly 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😉

I for one, shall be confiscating the Specimen reception radio for the foreseeable. Good luck everyone else

[Patrick Simms #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare @Paddy_s13]

@angleseatrc @WestonLabMed Yep, I’m one of those too 👍🏻

[Patrick Simms #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare @Paddy_s13]

@angleseatrc @WestonLabMed Hi! In short, a blood sciences manager at one site (weston) with the additional of support staff management across sites. It’s a operations management role which is essential with the implementation of new equipment on the horizon

[Patrick Simms #AtTheHeartOfHealthcare @Paddy_s13]

I flatter myself!

[Weston General Laboratory Medicine @WestonLabMed]

The reflection of our windows makes it look like we had fireworks in the lab! Either that or our Operational Support Manager @Paddy_s13 just had another really good idea! 👍🏻

[Weston General Laboratory Medicine @WestonLabMed]

We have restricted access to the laboratory for your safety….. but no matter what tricks or treats you send us, we will provide you with reliable results! Happy Halloween to all and to all a good fright… 👻 @uhbwNHS @IBMScience #halloween2021

Busy busy busy

The Police suggest flagging down a bus if you get arrested by a lone policeman?! They usually go past when your on the stop! Today the bus driver just shrugged when I asked what number it was. I said I was checking because the sign said not in service and he said 1/2

[ESHT_Pathology 💙 @ESHT_Pathology]

The Friday rush for testing is well & truly under way. This @RocheDiaUK machine runs thousands of tests every day with many results in under an hour. If you live in East Sussex & have seen your GP or practice nurse today your bloods are probably in here now. #pathology
