The department actively encourages participation in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) to develop skills that will assist you in the pursuit of career ambitions. Pathology at BHRUT is a UKAS accredited to ISO15189 laboratory and an approved IBMS training laboratory across different disciplines. The Biochemistry Department is currently managed across laboratories based at Queens Hospital Romford and King George Hospital Goodmayes. All staff are expected to be able to work on either site as required; this post will be expected to cover the training and quality requirements at both sites.
The department of Biochemistry which is part of Blood Sciences plays a pivotal role in the provision of 26 million diagnostic tests annually for the Trust and primary care services.

We operate a 24/7 service on both sites. The Trust is currently exploring an alternative system to accommodate the increasing demand for routine 24/7 testing. This is a full time post working 37.5 hours per week. A flexible attitude to working hours is essential.
The hours are currently within a framework of 08.0020.00 including weekend & Bank Holiday working. These arrangements are subject to continuing review.
