A small group of us has been commissioned to prepare a web-based study course on POC initially for laboratory staff training, but which we see as a resource which would become available in the future to other health care groups, albeit at different levels of interest & understanding. We have a certain amount of documentation resources to hand, but are aware that other people out there might have found something useful in cupboards which we have not yet found or opened. We would be very grateful if you could send me (or all of us) details or sources of any such nuggets which we could assess and refer on to students. Anything would be welcome from international texts down to local guidelines and protocols for purchase, management and use of equipment. Personal creations would be acknowledged, and it is our intention to make the material we collate and create available to our professional audience(s) when developed. Many thanks in advance With best wishes Richard Biochemistry Department Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup, Kent DA14 6LT
