Personally I think labs should reportusing both units. Despite all the science behind SI am unsure if has really benefited patients. If anything it has introduced confusion. I also think it is the end user who needs to be asked because this is where the muddle is likely to happen

Subject: Consensus statement on reporting drugs and poisons
Dear Colleagues
I have to date had no real responses regading the proprosal that all
clinical laboratories in the UK report drugs and poisons in MASS SI
units. I am very pleased to inform you that the Scottish Senior
Clinical Biochemists Group have recently agreed that all laboratoies in
Scotland will be shanging to mass units.
I assume that the total silence means that there are no objections to a
change in England too, so can we have a discussion about time lines for
a change over?
Yours hopefully
Julian
