Hi
I am interested in more information about how POCT is resourced in Trusts of similar size to Plymouth. We are a 950 bed acute teaching hospital and a major trauma centre. There are 16 blood gas devices, 225 glucose meters, 70 urine testing sites, around 15-20 blood ketone meters, 6 INR meters, 20 pregnancy testing sites, amongst other tests (HbA1c, foetal fibronectin, etc).
We have a relatively large POCT team which has CPA accreditation for connected and non-connected elements of the service, which includes external sites.
In particular I am trying to gauge the following-
Staff whole time equivalence providing POCT Who is the lead? POCT manager or Co-ordinator CPA/UKAS accredited?
Governance Group? How often do they meet?
Do you have clinical and managerial leads for POCT?
Are you currently experiencing an expansion in POCT or the opposite?
I know some of you will have previously supplied some of this information in other threads so apologies if this feels repetitive.
Kind regards
Tony
