Policies
The Point of Care Policy describes the role and responsibilities of the Trust, the POCT team and POCT users in the use of POCT devices. This is essential to:
- Protect patients and staff
- Ensure all devices are used correctly, consistently and safely
- Manage the introduction and regulate the use of POCT devices
- Provide a cost efficient and clinical effective analytical service
The policy is central to our governance structure for POCT.
