LABORATORY TECHNIQUES AND THEIR APPLICATION
INTRODUCTION
Why is it important to store data well and communicate well?
Data management is critical in the laboratory sector. Improperly obtained and stored
data might be lost before analysis, recorded erroneously, prevent work from being
checked, and even inhibit the progress of research and procedures that rely on the
data. Good record-keeping can assist users in tracking down problems or refining an
experiment. Data management benefits patients more than a paper worksheet
because when looking for a patient's information urgently in a system you’d find it in
an instant rather than looking through worksheets for more than 20 minutes.
BOW SCHOOL LABORATORY
Bow school laboratory is a school lab that monitors and maintains all the equipment
that is stored and used in the laboratory throughout the science department. They
use a software called lab expert [1] to store and keep up to date all the data in the
school laboratory. Labexpert is a software example of LIMS. LIMS is a Laboratory
Information Management System that allows us to manage samples and data that
are associated.
They use it twice a year, although not apparent. Your laboratory can automate
procedures, connect equipment, and manage samples and appropriate information.
Also, you can create more trustworthy results faster and track data from connected
computers over time and between experiments to increase efficiency. Since Bow
school is using this software, this lengthens the efficiency of the workforce and helps
the laboratory staff to maintain and record all the equipment and substances that are
stored, used and removed from the laboratory/school. More often than this?
The school uses a paper worksheet to record raw data, this could be practical works
that are used in a day and what chemicals were used for it. An outside organisation
comes to check all equipment, if it's good they get a sticker and place it in the
laboratory indicating that they are satisfied and have visited. The information that is
communicated is fit for purpose because in order to maintain what is stored in the
database, communication is informed so that the information is processed.
This is part of P7 - day-to-day recording systems
The data used is to maintain and differentiate the number of substances and
equipment held in the laboratory. The risk assessment done for the whole school is
checked every year for this laboratory. The main hazards in this lab are the
chemicals, glass, biological (microbes, bacteria, and animal diseases), electrical
(faulty equipment), and physical. congestion in corridors. During lesson
changeovers, when a large number of students are moving about the building, do not
, carry goods between the preparation of the room and laboratories. Cluttered floors
help to clear the preparation and laboratory floors. Keep all entrances open.
Damaged floors are all potentially dangerous damages that should be reported in
writing to the site management.
The main safety measures taken on a day-to-day basis are fume cupboards that
take and remove airborne hazardous substances that are created, this is free from
contaminants. This is therefore apparent why science laboratories have a fume
cupboard in the corner of the room for this certain use. The safety measures place
any constraints on the work process by identifying what could cause an injury or an
illness in the workplace, they must decide how bad the person got injured and how
serious the injury is. And they must take action to remove the hazards. The
consequences for a workforce member not complying with some of the
organisation’s specific health and safety rules is by fine imprisonment and
disqualification of the work they had.
THE NHS
The NHS records and processes large data sets of scientific information through
their national data sets that collect information on particular aspects of health care
from care records, systems, and organisations. ‘Large data sets’ means a set of data
that are from large studies which contain very raw data. One example is COVID-19.
Throughout the end of 2019 onwards, the NHS has recorded the number of people
who caught the virus and were submitted to the NHS hospital.
What was also recorded were symptoms and causes that could heighten the virus to
further warn the public to find out whether they have the virus. They managed the
cause of this virus by producing a vaccine that was worldwide, and before this
happened they produced a self-testing oral box that has equipment that finalises if
the patient has the virus or not. They also store data on a Microsoft Azure platform
which also has a central IT service called the NHS Spine that links the patient's
record with their NHS number and makes sure their information is never lost and is
confidential.[2] In the NHS, a data breach could potentially happen. On their website,
they say it's “very common” and it can only “take one error for swathes of information
to be misused or exposed”. Although there are benefits of having a lot of data on
patients which increases health literacy and health awareness amongst the general
population.
This data is used to influence policy as well as to monitor and enhance care. This
meets customer needs by indicating that the NHS’s main focus is their patients and
that they would treat anyone that requires it for example a patient that has had an
FGM. The NHS would record this information so that they would improve how the
NHS supports women and girls who have had or who are at risk of FGM. The NHS
also helps other organisations to develop plans to stop FGM from happening in its
local communities as it is not only illegal but puts safeguarding for women and girls
at a risk. This ensures traceability with unique identification which prevents the cause
of an error and increases the quality that drives efficiencies which reduces costs.
This type of information has a specific dataset that is stored which is called the
Female Genital Mutilation Enhanced Dataset Standard (SCCI2026) which includes
