About

A motivated and reliable laboratory assistant with hands-on experience supporting clinical and academic laboratories. Skilled in sample reception, labelling, centrifugation, aliquoting, reagent preparation and maintaining accurate records in line with SOPs, COSHH and infection-control standards. My experience has fostered a meticulous, systematic method for dealing with patient samples.

I work carefully, follow instructions well and understand the importance of accuracy, confidentiality and safe practice in a diagnostic environment. I am proficient in utilizing laboratory information systems for data input and record maintenance and recognize the essential part that trustworthy results play in delivering patient treatment. I am now seeking a Medical Laboratory Assistant role where I can support a busy laboratory or pathology team and continue developing my skills to deliver a safe and efficient service.
