Biomedical Science Coterminus Degree
The Surrey & North Sussex Pathology Network has launched a coterminus training option to the existing BSc in Biomedical Science available at the University of Surrey.
This major new development is designed to provide the local health economy with graduates in the field of Biomedical Science, who will be sufficiently skilled on graduation to work as registered Biomedical Scientists in the Pathology laboratories of the Network.

Pathology Requesting Guidelines
The database for Pathology is very large. Approximately 5½ million tests are carried out per annum. Each day the directorate receives 2,000 Biochemistry and Haematology samples, 800 Microbiology Samples, up to 150 Histology and Cytology samples. There is therefore ample scope for errors in specimen identification and the possibility of issuing incorrect results. Adherence to this requesting procedure is essential to reduce or eliminate these errors.
Inadequate patient identification or inadequate labelling at the point of sample collection may lead to Pathology results being assigned to the wrong patient or incorrect results being assigned.
This may have serious consequences for the patient. The directorate follows the requesting guidelines as laid out by the Institute of Biomedical Science. (IBMS)
