Malcolm Needs ☆ Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes, poor old Bonzo gets some poor publicity (some deserved, but not all), but his ideas are usually based on sound thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR1 Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) I particularly like the following from the report:4.13.“A systematic approach should be taken to educating, training and developing the skills of the pathology workforce in quality managementsystems and quality improvement methodology, in ways appropriate to professional group, role and grade. This process should be led by HEE. We too often separate quality functions from everyday lab work- when in reality they are the same.I find I have learnt/ understood more about how to do my job with running the lab in the last 6 years, then the previous 13 as a BBM- and this has been due to our regulations and the way the inspectors have developed us ( a tough way, I admit- but that is what it has been), and it is all about considering patient safety and care at all times. Hopefully standardisation of all Path labs with the new UKAS inspections against ISO 15189 will further help.
