Queen's Hospital in Romford has integrated its new allergy-testing service alongside routine work on the existing Siemens Immulite 2000 System by utilising the Siemens 3gAllergy test.
Although the decision to bring testing in-house has in part contributed to increased workload, the Immulite 2000 provided the analytical support alongside a strategy of user education and test request-form remodelling.
A contract with the Royal London ensures that a clinical immunologist oversees the services at Queen's Hospital, and the education booklet and revised test request forms were prepared in line with all required guidelines.
