IBMS responds to Thérèse Coffey MP's policy paper ‘Our Plan for Patients’

Following the suspension of a COVID-19 testing laboratory in Wolverhampton, the IBMS publicly reiterates the need for a regulated workforce and laboratory accreditation for mass testing centres.

The IBMS wishes to provide clarification on the Becton Dickinson shortage of blood test tubes affecting the NHS and the implications for pathology services.

In response to service need, and with the support from all UK health departments, the IBMS and the Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath) have jointly developed and introduced a UK wide recognised training and examination framework to enable the scientist workforce to take on certain functions that have previously been the sole responsibility of medically qualified staff.
