24 June 2026 (Wednesday) - Some Training

I had some formal training today. Like buses, nothing for ages and then two loads come at once.

This morning with an IT specialist learning about the new blood transfusion system which is coming. It looks to be rather good compared with that which I’ve used before.

And this afternoon with a product specialist learning about apixaban and rivaroxaban and anti-Xa assays.

 

I learned a lot, but I will make the observation that back in the day these reps used to come with loads of goodies, a free lunch and cake…

I had some training on it today. I think I learned a lot. I will find out whether I did or not in a few days time…

15 June 2017 (Thursday) - HPLC Training

I was trained on the new HPLC analyser today. Back in a previous life I was quite the man on HPLC. I’d like to get back into it…
