Could I collect your thoughts on the follow:
Does anyone not allow GPs to request B12 and Folate due to stability problems? Secondly, do labs allow these to be added on?
Is anyone using a standalone POCT instrument for lactate measurement in their sepsis pathway?
Would appreciate thoughts on the above and happy to collate responses for anyone interested.
Many thanks,
Fran
