Royal Liverpool University Hospital unveils state of the art training centre in North West
ROYAL Liverpool University Hospital has
today unveiled a state-of-the-art training laboratory and regional centre of
excellence. The site will provide training for more than 1,000 hospital and
laboratory staff a year, from across the North West.
The centre, which is part of Liverpool Clinical Laboratories, was redeveloped
following a grant from Roche Diagnostics, as part of its ongoing commitment to
training and excellence in diagnostics.
Staff will be trained on the latest diagnostic innovations and technologies that
are used at the point of care within the hospital, to provide high quality care
for patients. These tests help doctors and nurses to better care for patients,
who are often critically ill, by closely monitoring their condition and
detecting the early signs of deterioration.
The Royal Liverpool University Hospital is the largest hospital in Merseyside
and Cheshire, and provides emergency, general and specialist treatment to over
750,000 people a year across the North West.
The centre was opened by Christopher Parker, Managing Director of Roche
Diagnostics UK and Ireland, to an audience of 50 people.
Jane Mills, Chief Operating Officer, Liverpool Clinical Laboratories, said:-
"It is often the unsung hero of medicine but up to 70% of clinical decision
making is based on diagnostic testing. Ensuring doctors have access to accurate
test results is an essential component of delivering the highest quality care
for our patients."
Christopher Parker, Managing Director of Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland,
said:- "Roche is committed to excellence in diagnostic testing no matter
where it is carried out. We are focused on going beyond the development of the
latest product innovations to also ensuring that patients have timely access to
the safest and most accurate testing possible."
