Hi David,
We have a POCT committee, which I chair, and we have a dedicated band 6 POCT co-ordinator and an MLA covering POCT across 3 x DGHs (population of around 500,000). POCT is under resourced but we are unlikely to be able to expand the "team" in the current financial climate.
Regards
Ian

Subject: Quick Survey of POCT Staffing provision in other trusts
Hi All,
Please could I be bold enough to take a quick survey of staffing in your trust as we are just putting together a business case for further POCT staffing at UHMB.
I am particularly interested in trusts in the north/northwest as I am situated in the northwest.
If you would rather respond personally I provide my email address as a handy link:

Dear David,
Randox has a cardiac EQA programme suitable for POCT. The scheme is the RIQAS Liquid Cardiac Programme.
This is a monthly scheme with 1 sample a month. It contains 9 parameters (including Troponin and D-Dimer) if you were wanting to also register other parameters.
Best Wishes,
Charles Spon-Smith
