Safe Laboratory Test Ordering and Results Handling in General Medical Practice
Welcome to the NES webpage on safe guidance for test ordering and results handling in general practice.
The evolving work outlined in these pages was originally part of a European Union funded project - see LINNEAUS EURO-PC below for further details.
The developments thus far were achieved in partnership with a number of different countries and bodies, including the Medical Protection Society which kindly shared much of its risk data on this area. (http://www.medicalprotection.org/uk/)
