    This job involved undertaking clinical laboratory support duties under supervision of the biomedical scientists. Communication played a major role as providing and receiving verbal routing information was required for hundreds of biopsy specimens every day. Attention to detail was essential - I checked correct demographic details, entered test results against patients' records, and recorded the nature and number of samples taken by the pathologists and to ensure that each sample kept the correct unique number for each patient. I assisted the biomedical scientists and pathologists and I was able to anticipate their requirements.
