Job Description
The primary care laboratories and sampling units are the crucial first link in our laboratory operations, and within primary care, you will work closely with patients in sample collection and analysis work, including hematology and coagulation. At the primary care labs, you will work in close collaboration with other professionals at the health center, but your organizational affiliation will be with PNL, which is also responsible for your professional development and for the lab's quality assurance and instrumentation. Our working hours are advantageous as we only work daytime, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.
We are looking for you who are a licensed biomedical analyst or hospital biologist and who want to work alongside the dedicated and experienced staff within Patient-Centered Laboratory Medicine East.
