Recently, GSTS Pathology hosted its first Innovation Academy event in London. This inaugural scientific symposium welcomed over 100 delegates, offering participants great networking opportunities and the chance to hear presentations from a group of GSTS experts.
Discussions focused on four tracks: child health, keeping people healthy, infectious diseases, and next-generation diagnostics, and the programme included presentations on expanded newborn screening, vitamin B12 deficiency, HIV drug resistance and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. Also on show was the innovative approach to laboratory medicine that can be found across the GSTS Pathology organisation.
Dr Dominic Harrington, GSTS scientific director and co-chair of the event, said: “Clinical science is part of the fabric of GSTS Pathology, and the scientists presenting at the event continue to make significant contributions to the development of best practice in clinical pathology. The Innovation Academy event allowed us to share, celebrate and support the contributions of our staff. We were delighted to see the turnout on the day and look forward to the next event in December.”
As the UK's leading independent provider of pathology services, GSTS has launched the Innovation Academy as a new initiative designed to create an environment that supports innovation, quality and the development of future scientific leaders, and that showcases scientific innovations that make a real difference to patient care.
