Point of Care Testing Advances Conference Abu Dhabi 2017

With a global trend towards standardization of POCT, healthcare facilities must implement greater clinical governance and begin leveraging accreditation for compliance with international standards. The Point of Care of Testing Advances Conference will feature best practices and ideas towards that end. We will have lectures and panel discussions on ISO 22870 standards for POCT, utility of POCT for critically-ill patients and POCT best practices and latest innovations. Our distinguished faculty includes experts from USA, Europe and the UAE. Accreditation for this live educational activity is in process. The conference aims to gather point of care coordinators and managers; laboratory managers and technical directors; laboratory technologists; allied health professionals; nurses; phlebotomists; and physicians. By the end of the conference, delegates will be able to: understand ISO 22870 (2016) requirements; describe POCT governance structure; review POCT best practice around the world; discuss future innovative technologies in POCT; and discuss POCT solutions in the ICU setting.
