Dear Colleagues
Many thanks for all your replies (47) to my enquiry regarding the
provision of a troponin service by your laboratories. I have
summated the UK responses (many thanks also to the non-UK
respondents - all 5 of whom provide 24x7 - is this a funding issue?).
37 UK laboratories
24x7 3 teaching hospitals 12 non-teaching
daytime (7days) 5 teaching hospitals 15 non-teaching
Where there were responses from two hospitals within the same
trust, only one entry is included. I think that the main issues have
already been aired, namely; 1) cost and 2) clinical requirement
(cardiologists vs A&E) each topic with approximately equal
representation.
I hope this is useful
Julian
