Pathology Assistant
5 months ago
We are looking for someone to join our busy Pathology Specimen Reception team at the Conquest Hospital. The team are responsible for booking all pathology samples onto the laboratory computer system and ensuring correct protocols are followed for the handling and movement of those samples. Accuracy of work is very important.
This is a permanent post 37.5 hours / week.
The role will involve some specimen preparation ready for analysing.
The team also support the laboratory staff by carrying out some basic maintenance procedures for which training will be given.
Familiarity with clinical terminology is advantageous but not essential as training will be given.
This IS NOT a 'receptionist' post. Specimen Reception is responsible for the receipt, logging and onward distribution of thousands of clinical specimens every day. This is a data inputting role that requires accuracy and an ability to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs). Attention to detail is key.
Specimen Reception Pathology Assistants support the work of the
laboratory and Biomedical Scientists (BMS) by carrying out
non-interpretative laboratory procedures. A significant part of this role is data entry using the laboratory computer system, correctly identify patient’s details and handling of samples of a potentially hazardous nature.
Typical duties are unpacking, sorting and booking in samples,
packing specimens to send away to referral laboratories, preparing
specimens for testing, performing simple analytical procedures and
some more general tasks of this nature.
