This post straddles our pathology admin and clinical processes. Phlebotomy elements are secondary to the core departmental workload of handling and logging clinical samples.
The department itself is small and thus the successful candidate will need to be open and friendly to fit in with the rest of the team. Annually the department handles around 80,000 tests per year, however these are outsourced to other pathology providers, so the role focuses on data quality, checking the information is correct and receipting results.
