Roche (Basel, Switzerland) has opened a new diagnostics training laboratory and regional center of excellence at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital (RLUH; United Kingdom).
The facility, which is part of Liverpool Clinical Laboratories (United Kingdom), will provide training for more than 1,000 hospital and laboratory staff a year from across North West England, as part of the ongoing commitment of Roche to training and excellence in diagnostics. At the center, staff will be trained on how to use the latest diagnostic innovations and technologies at point of care (POC) within the hospital.
“Roche is committed to excellence in diagnostic testing no matter where it is carried out,” said Christopher Parker, managing director of Roche Diagnostics UK and Ireland. “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.”
“Ensuring doctors have access to accurate test results is an essential component of delivering the highest quality care for our patients,” said Jane Mills, chief operating officer of Liverpool Clinical Laboratories. “It is often the unsung hero of medicine, but up to 70% of clinical decision-making is based on diagnostic testing.”
