Skills & Techniques
This workshop is designed to challenge participants to discuss what considerations should be covered when adding newly developed technology to a laboratory setting. From basic specifications through to the psychology of change, the success of implementing new process relies, not just on the performance of the technology but on multiple, often less well considered additional factors. This is particularly so in more regulated workspaces.
Attendees will be introduced to an example of a new innovation in the healthcare setting that is conceptually advantageous but asked to consider and discuss what other factors would play a role in successful implementation
There are no pre-requisites to attend this session.
