BACKGROUND
In response to the current pandemic, the Pathology Alliance is hosting a series of webinars focused on the current challenges faced by the NHS in testing at scale for Covid-19/SARS-CoV-2.
These webinars are designed to enable bidirectional, solution-orientated, information sharing between the NHS diagnostics community and the National Covid-19 Testing Cell.
In the long-term, the aim is to use these webinars to build a community of practice across the laboratory network, through and beyond Covid.
