National Medical Laboratory Week April 26- May 2

April 26- May 2 is National Medical Laboratory Week – a week dedicated to celebrating medical laboratory professionals.

Medical Laboratory Professionals are an integral part of patient care. They might work behind the scenes but they have a direct impact on patient care. Medical laboratory professionals process and analyze samples that help guide diagnosis, treatment and patient care.

You are all going above and beyond during this global pandemic. Your work is central to the province’s response, your results help keep people safe, provide tracking data of the virus and support communities in need.

On behalf of the thousands of people you serve, your colleagues in health care and your fellow NSGEU members we want to thank you for your dedication and commitment to providing the highest quality results possible.

The NSGEU is supporting those working on the front line with a social media campaign. If you would like to take part please post a selfie and tag it with #nsfrontlinefaces so we can share it and show Nova Scotians what you’re doing for them at this unprecedented time

Nova Scotians and the NSGEU are proud of the great work you do.
