The department receives over half a million requests annually, providing a twenty-four hour diagnostic and monitoring service. The laboratory is ISO 15189 and HCPC/IBMS accredited, MHRA approved and facilitates military training. Additionally the laboratory situated at on the QEH site is the nominated Coagulation laboratory for the West Midlands Regional Haemophilia comprehensive care service, and a designated Transfusion Trauma Centre.
The ideal candidate must be a HCPC registered Biomedical Scientist.

Further study, scientific posters and papers, and CPD are strongly encouraged and supported.
Main duties of the job
You will be responsible for performing the technical tasks to meet the needs of the laboratory service. This includes analysis, technical validation, interpretive decisions and reporting of samples to achieve efficient and effective patient care and resource management. You will be expected to work collaboratively within the laboratory team. You will be committed to providing a high standard of service to our patients and partake in the quality programme of the laboratory. You should have an understanding of legislation, regulation and the maintenance of compliance with ISO 15189:2012.
Currently the laboratory operates a 24/7 shift system and after appropriate training you will be expected to participate in the departmental shift system which attracts AfC enhanced payments.
Applications will be considered from individuals who require the IBMS Specialist Diploma in Haematology & Hospital Transfusion Science. In these circumstances successful applicant salaries will be as per AFC Annex % of the top of band 6 until awarded the diploma, which would be expected to be completed in less than two years.
