This week across the country and in the United States we celebrate National Medical Laboratory Week where we acknowledge all the medical laboratory professionals who serve on the front lines of the public health system.
Our health care system is fortunate to have skilled and dedicated lab professionals as key members of the patient care team to provide accurate medical tests results for Canadians. For 27 years, the Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science (CSMLS) has sponsored National Medical Laboratory Week to promote awareness and understanding of the role of medical laboratory professionals.
National organizations, like CSMLS, provide an effective forum through which members can network, share ideas and benefit from best practices from across Canada. Encouraging communication and professional development, CSMLS promotes professional excellence and pride among its members. The result is a stronger profession and enhanced teamwork as we continue to work together to provide quality health care for Canadians.
This year’s theme “Our Focus is You” is a true reflection on the impact lab professionals have on everyday patient care throughout the country and highlights the vital role of medical laboratory professionals in supporting the health and well-being of Canadians. More than 19,000 registered medical laboratory technologists are employed in Canada, and their work makes a significant contribution to providing quality care to Canadians. The laboratory tests, experiments, and analyses they carry out are often critical to the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. https://ourfocusisyou.ca/
I would like to thank our Insception Lifebank Medical Laboratory Technologists for their contributions to our healthcare system.
