This National Medical Laboratory Week, we hope you enjoy the spotlight with your peers.
Every year, we ask major landmarks to light up in indigo to celebrate you. This year we want to shine that light on the work you do ensuring accurate diagnosis for both patients and other health care professionals. You are experts and key figures in every patient’s journey, and there is no doubt your work is essential for a well-functioning health care system.
Watch for more items to be added to the toolkit. Subscribe to eNEWS and follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Bluesky for updates.
