Pathology IT LTHTR

A dedicated team of professionals supporting Pathology scientific staff at LTHTR

Oct 1979 a fresh faced 16 yr old began a career in Pathology. 44 yrs later, 20 yrs lab work, 24 yrs lab IT - 5 LIMS, 2 EPR’s, 5 order comms, 2 interface engines and more middleware than I can count, time to retire. Thanks @NHS wouldn’t change a thing (well, maybe wanna-cry!!!)

Last week we welcomed Tom to the team which brings us back to full capacity. In addition to IT skills and enthusiasm, he brings Cell Pathology knowledge which will be invaluable to us moving forward (especially with Digital Pathology knocking on the door)

I appreciate this not a personal account but I feel the need to hijack it just this once.
Today sees the end of my tenure as a Queens Scout.
Your Majesty, the honour has been mine Ma’am.

Second change this week sees Mike take the well deserved step up into the system manager role. Hearty congrats young man, we (by we, I mean me) are lucky to have you.

A week of change this week saw Lana join the team as new admin support. End of day 2, main admin tasks sorted - the force is strong in this one 😳

@maisiemoose @pwiggaz It does make a mean Latte 😉

Phase 2 of team leavers sees the departure today of my No1 @pwiggaz from the Path IT family. No-one is irreplaceable, but some are damned near close and Paul is one of those. He takes with him my thanks and best wishes for the future. The coffee machine however, stays with us 😁

A bitter sweet day today. We wish team member Diane a long and happy “proper” retirement after nearly 30 years at LTH Pathology. No-one knows everything but when it come to how the legacy systems work, Di comes pretty close! Best wishes from us all (I’ll miss our chats 🙂)

@am2805 @techteam_LTHTR I’m rather ashamed to say some of our switch gear looks similar. However @saeedumarlthtr and @techteam_LTHTR have a plan to “get us sorted” 👍

[Pathology IT LTHTR @pathIT_LTHTR]

@siby_silvester That is actually quite a frightening thought 😳.

[Pathology IT LTHTR @pathIT_LTHTR]

@siby_silvester Siby, great to see the new you (physically) but can we just confirm that this monumental effort has not affected your ability as the worlds best DBA??

[Pathology IT LTHTR @pathIT_LTHTR]

@siby_silvester Blimey Sibster, if I hadn’t seen this I wouldn’t have recognised you if I fell over you in the street!! Top job 👍👍

@LancsHospPath @pwiggaz Classic 3 step IT manoeuvre young padwan, Obe Wan has taught you well

@Martin1Myers Nothing for me☹️☹️☹️ someone decided to take Covid antibody testing live at a weekend and guess who’s on call 😡😡

[Pathology IT LTHTR @pathIT_LTHTR]

@health1tech @saeedumarlthtr @NHSDigital @MicrosoftUK @MicrosoftTeams I feel like I’ve been in most of them. I suspect a new condition will be along soon called “Teams ear” 😉

[Pathology IT LTHTR @pathIT_LTHTR]

@_StuartJones @Martin1Myers Middleware............ it’s the future 👍

[Pathology IT LTHTR @pathIT_LTHTR]

@TechieDaveM Our condolences 🙁

Big shout out to @MercedesAMGF1 for co developing CPAP device with UCLH. Well done folks and thanks for providing the evidence me and fellow team member and F1 fanatic @Joolz_Tea need when we next have to argue that F1 is more much than making someone go round a track really fast
