Additional Programmes now UKAS ISO 17043 accredited

We are pleased to announce our news following our recent surveillance by UKAS for Extension to Scope. Our programmes for Urine Drugs of Abuse, Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) and Whole Blood Immunosuppressants are now ISO 17043 accredited.

CRP Programmes

Due to the feedback from POCT Co-ordinators, we are now providing a specific POCT CRP programme tailored to your needs. 2 samples will be distributed bimonthly with concentration values reflecting the decision levels used in primary care for antimicrobial management. The current CRP laboratory programme will change to a monthly distribution, designed for the high throughput of samples within a routine laboratory.
