Description

Point of Care Testing (PoCT) in East Kent is expanding and this is an exciting opportunity to join our dynamic Point of Care Testing team.

We are recruiting a full time Band 4 position to enhance and support the existing team:

this post is based at QEQM, but there is a requirement to travel across the 3 acute sites and to Estuary View Urgent Treatment Centre.

PoCT testing devices are used to produce rapid clinical results that enable clinical staff to make immediate treatment decisions for our patients.

The post holder will contribute to the quality of these clinical decisions by supporting the existing PoCT team to deliver advice, training and perform quality tasks to ensure the quality of the results produced.

The POCT service is working towards accreditation to ISO15189.

In addition the department is actively engaging with community settings to provide the above services to locations outside of the Trust such as Virtual Wards provided by community trusts and Clinical Diagnostic Centres.

Full training will be provided in the use and management of our PoCT device portfolio and the associated IT solutions.

The PoCT department is linked to our ISO accredited laboratories and is embedded within the Pathology quality management system.
