Hi Debbie
I'm no longer in Glasgow - but whilst there there were two incidences of false Urinary Pregnancy results - false negatives I think.
The solution then was to strongly encourage areas performing UPTs to send a serum HCG instead and put in place strong governance for those clinical areas that insisted on using them.
