I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do with the time and how I can shape the training of people within the laboratory. Watch this space for developments…..

The day was very well organized and contained some very useful information. The highlight of day was a talk from a cardiologist about the use of cardiac markers etc from a medical point of view. It was a surprise to learn that shared a common view that doctors are requesting tests without any need, that a proper clinical history is taking second place to a comprehensive set of blood tests.

As a whole day, I don’t think there is much room for improvement. The day covered technical and medical aspects of heart disease. The venue was very good and situated in a very accessible location.

If the chance arises for you to take part in one of these sessions, I would recommend it.
