This is an exciting opportunity to join the Weqas Reference Measurement Laboratory which provides a Reference Measurement Service using Gold Standard methodology.

About us

The Weqas Reference Measurement laboratory is currently the only UK laboratory providing this service with accreditation to ISO 17025 incorporating ISO 15195 and is part of a limited global network of Reference Laboratories.  Such laboratories lead the way in standardisation of routine measurement performance of methods used in pathology
laboratories aiding in global harmonisation of Laboratory Medicine results.

About the role

To succeed in the post you will also need excellent interpersonal skills and be able to work effectively on your own and as part of a team. NHS experience is not essential.
