Martin Holland makes a good point about the lack of comments from BMSs/HCSs
in these POCT discussions. Unfortunately BMSs/HCSs are similarly apathetic in
other araes as well so perhaps they are in terminal decline??
However to be fair to the BMSs et al these POCT discussions are thru the ACB
whereas the great majority of BMSs are IBMS members and not ACB. As I found
this site thru the IBMS e-forum which I find has a disappointingly limited
number of contributors, perhaps too few IBMS members know about this
facility. I therefore do agree with your comments that the professional
organisations and in particular the IBMS should be contacted so they can
formally advise their members thru their Biomedical Scientist publication to
get on-line about this very important part of future pathology.
