I couldn't agree more. The NHS seems to have great problems with technology transfer.
We rely on professional societies and suppliers to get us together to achieve this: why isn't this included in the organisational structure?
Would "Pathology Modernisation" have done more good for patients and taxpayers if it had identified best practice and promoted transfer rather than promoting structural changes?
The DH QIPP did try and do this. (I've just asked Google to find our Blood Transfusion and Core Automated Laboratory projects there but it couldn't.)
Award schemes (both NHS and independent) try and do this but it's surprisingly hard to get Laboratory Medicine to tell the world about all the good work that is out there.
