The Trust supports professional and personal development through experiential learning and both internal and external courses. A CPD programme is run within the laboratory with speakers from outside and within. Learning resources are available on line and via the trust library.

The Biochemistry Department has a Beckman based Automation section (3 x AU5800, 2 x DXI, Automate and DXA pre/post-analytical systems), Sebia electrophoresis equipment (CZE) and POCT involvement across the Trust. The IT systems used at the RUH are Cirdan Ultra LIMS, Sunquest ICE, Cerner Millennium and QPulse quality management software.

The pathology workload is relatively high as we provide pathology services not only to the trust but a wide rural GP catchment area and several community hospitals, both NHS and private.

The Biochemistry department processes a high workload (around 3,000 requests per day or 4.8m tests per year) most of which is performed on Beckman analysers with stand-alone and tracked robotics. We moved into a new purpose built laboratory in 2014.
