I think this is terrible. There is no input as far as I can see from Healthcare Scientists. The whole thing seems to have been stitched up by AHPs. To be fair, Dominic Cox, is a Clinical Scientist and he hammered QC in his launch presentation but I suspect not a lot of notice was taken. I note it is tacitly assumed that near patient testing comes under the role of the Critical Care technologist. Should there be a formal response to this from the professional organisations?

The article claims to have input from clinicals scientists and MLSOs but they are not listed in the contributors. Anyone know who they are or what input they had? There is no mention of connectivity or data capture. Doug Hirst Bradford ROyal Infirmary
