    Default job background
    Description

    The post holder is an experienced specialist Health Care Professions Council Registered Biomedical Scientist who provides a continuous and comprehensive blood science service as an aid to effective diagnosis and treatment. The post entails confirmation of the analytical and technical validity of investigations, liaising with clinical and blood science staff to ensure diagnostically abnormal results are urgently acted upon.

    Where undertaken, staff committing to working unsocial hours will have significantly different working patterns and responsibilities to routine core hours. This is because these staff operate and communicate as a lone front line self-governing service provider and assume first line responsibility.

    Main duties of the job
    • Perform investigations and analytical techniques unsupervised whilst organizing own work tasks, normally under the direction of a Section Leader.
    • Assist in the development of Standard Operating Procedures, and recommend improvements and amendments as necessary.
    • Perform complex manual and automated analytical investigations requiring specialist skills.
    • Maintain, troubleshoot and repair faults in complex laboratory instruments, ensuring essential services are maintained in the event of technical failure.
    • Prepare reagents, control materials and calibrators with a high degree of accuracy and precision.
    • Check reliability of results to ensure accuracy and precision by applying quality assurance statistical criteria.
    • Recognise grossly abnormal and life threatening results.
    • Validate and report test results in a timely fashion so that they may be acted on as necessary by clinicians.
    • Provide technical interpretation and comment on validity of results.
    • Maintain accurate and detailed records of patient results, quality control data and calculations.
    • Work with laboratory and Trust information systems.
    • Selection, matching and timely issuing of correct blood products in response to medical prescription,
    • Maintain adequate supplies of all blood products, liaising with Blood Transfusion Service and other outside agencies.
    • Maintain an accurate audit trail of the fate of all blood products.
    • Ensure that blood products are stored in compliance with National Guidelines
