Labs ReNew Programme: Lab Van Service Lead: Scott Prior (PLIG & GP Sub-Committee)

The Labs ReNew Programme is focused on optimizing the Lab Van Service to improve patient care, reduce staff stress, and increase cost-effectiveness. With a network of 135 clinical sites, the Lab Van Service plays a crucial role in delivering lab samples and specimens. This program aims to streamline the specimen journey, starting from vehicle checks at 09:00 and ending at 17:15. Key areas of focus include arrival time at labs, learning from other departments, and potential changes to routes, lab sites, vehicles, and management. Crucial issues such as parking, the front desk, late and urgent specimens will also be addressed.
