CORU Registration Deadline
March 31st 2021

Dear Colleague

You may be aware that the Academy has held several webinars in recent months covering CPD and CORU Registration. This is a gentle reminder to you about the imminent end of the grandparenting period for you to register on the CORU Medical Scientist Register via the section 91 route. For the past two years, the section 91 route was open to facilitate the registration of existing medical scientists. After March 31st this year, all applicants must register via the section 38 route.

The important thing to remember is that in order to continue working after 31st March, your application must be complete. If a considerable amount of time has passed since you completed your application and you have not received any further correspondence from CORU, you should contact CORU directly by email registration@coru.ie

All of the information you need is outlined here:
https://coru.ie/health-and-social-care-professionals/registration-for-medical-scientists/
Please ensure that all of your staff are familiar with the important steps that they must follow and get their online applications completed ASAP.

HAPPY TO HELP

TTSAB and ACSLM are proud to present:

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell Therapy in Paediatric ALL – a potential curative treatment for relapsed/ refractory disease

Presented by Paul Lynam, Chief Medical Scientist, CHI.

Outcomes for paediatric patients diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia have dramatically improved over the past few decades with upwards of 80% of patients being cured with chemotherapy alone. There remains a cohort of patients (15-20%), however, who present with refractory disease or who suffer disease relapse during treatment. Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) is the preferred treatment option for high-risk patients who achieve a second complete response post relapse but the prognosis for those who are not eligible for HSCT or for those that relapse post-HSCT remains very poor. Immunotherapies such as CAR-T therapy have emerged as a strategy to treat refractory or relapsed pediatric ALL . CAR-T therapy utilizes a patient’s own T cells by genetically modifying them to specifically target and destroy malignant cells. Very promising results have been observed using this technology with remission rates as high as 90% reported in some trials. Introduction of CAR-T therapy as a treatment option for relapsed or refractory paediatric ALL patients offers hope for a patient cohort with otherwise very limited treatment options.

Paul Lynam is a Chief Medical Scientist in the Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Laboratory (HSCT) in Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin since 2009. The HSCT laboratory in Crumlin Hospital services the National Paediatric Allogeneic and Autologous Haematopoietic Stem cell transplant programs in Haematology/ Oncology from a dedicated Clean room facility within the Pathology Department. The HSCT laboratory is licensed by the HPRA and accredited by JACIE.

Tuesday 19th January at 1pm

Presenter: Nadia Brazil

Nadia Brazil, Chief Medical Scientist in the Porphyrin Laboratory within St James Biochemistry. The Porphyrin Laboratory at St James is the only laboratory in Ireland which analyses samples for the investigation of Porphyrias. St James has had a Porphyria laboratory for almost 40 years and in this time extensive expertise has been built up. A database of families with Porphyrias has been collated over the years which aids our investigations and may help with identification and follow up of previously undiagnosed family members. We are members of both BIPNET (British and Porphyria network) and EPNET (European Porphyria Network). EPNET not only covers the European Porphyria laboratories but also has members in Australia, Canada, South Africa, Taiwan and the US. We collaborate with our colleagues both in the UK and Europe to standardize analysis and reporting from our laboratories to give the best outcomes for our patients.

20 December 2020

Dear Members

With Christmas fast approaching, we wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words of thanks and to update you about some events for 2021. I think we would all agree that 2020 has been a very challenging and unusual year. We sincerely hope that you will have some well earned downtime over the coming weeks.

Newsletter Summary:

– The President’s Christmas Address
– BioMedica Virtual Festival
– Several online CPD events for 2021
– Have your say about CPD for 2021
– CORU CPD video
– The awarding of credits for CPD activities

The Academy President’s Christmas Address

Dear Medical Scientists
2020 has been a year like none experienced before however, the Medical Scientist profession rose to the many challenges not just in delivering Sars-CoV-2 testing but also in ensuring all clinical laboratory services continued to deliver, nationwide. While we have not yet got good sight of the future for 2021, you can be assured your Academy will be working on your behalf to ensure your contribution and expertise is not forgotten.
Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas.
Bernadette Jackson, President of The Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine.

“Believe that a further shore is reachable from here”
“Seamus Heaney”

BioMedica Festival

Judging by the numbers of attendees and the excellent standard of presentations, Virtual BioMedica 2020 was a resounding success. But you don’t need us to tell you that. Here’s what some of the registrants had to say:

“Well done on an amazing week of webinars to the Academy”” Congrats to all on a fantastic Virtual BioMedica 2020″

” I just logged into Dr Mike Ryan’s session, what a super event. And I was delighted to see that #BioMedica 2020 and #medicalscientists were trending this morning too. Well done for shining a light on the work that Medical Scientists do”

Here’s what happened:

1,500 + Attendees
45 Speakers
15 Sessions
1 Presidents Prize Winner
1 Zoom Quiz with glorious interval music from The Heathers
And all of this over 5 days!It must be said, none of this would have been possible without your continued support so we thank each and every person for registering and attending the various sessions. We also want to thank each of the speakers and chairpersons who kindly shared their valuable time and expertise to make BioMedica the show-stopping event that it was.

President’s Prize Winner

Clíona O’Shea, Molecular Microbiology Laboratory, Children’s Health Ireland at Crumlin won the coveted President’s Prize Award. The aim of Clíona’s presentation, titled “Investigation of the ability of the bacteriocin nisin to inhibit coagulase negative Staphylococci” was to establish whether the reporting of Uncertainty of Measurement estimates for antibiotic susceptibility testing using the disc diffusion method is a necessity in the clinical microbiology laboratory. On behalf of everyone at the Academy, huge congratulations to Clíona and we have you no doubt that you have a wonderful career ahead.

The Awarding of CPD Credits

We have had lots of queries relating to the awarding of CPD credits for various learning activities in recent months. The number of required credits and how they are applied has changed over the past 18 months and we wanted to offer a summary of these changes so we hosted a webinar on July 2nd titled “CPD Updates – Reflective Learning and Applying the CORU Framework” which is available to watch as a replay with the other replays listed above.

Please refer to www.acslm.ie, click on the “CPD/Reflective Learning Resources” where you will find a replay of the webinar outlining the CPD process. This page of the Academy website describes the self-awarding of credits, examples of the credit allocation system and resources to guide you.

We are working on Axia with the vendors to ensure your reporting on your CPD is in line with CORU requirements and is as user friendly as possible. This includes awarding CPD credits and sending your report to CORU if required.

We will have lots more information about this to share with you in January 2021.

CPD

We have had several requests asking us how members can keep up to date with their CPD at this time. CPD of the month is available on the website and focuses on COVID-19 so we would encourage everyone to do it, where possible.These activities create an opportunity for you to diverse your professional development as the topics covered are wide and varied.

Go to www.acslm.ie, click the CPD tab, then login. Go to the members area, hover over “Members CPD Area” and select CPD of the Month: March 2020. You will also find previous MCQ’s on the same menu bar. Immunology MCQ’s have just been added.

We are aware that CPD challenges may necessarily be the furthest thing from your mind and if this is the case do not feel obliged to go further!

Reflective Learning Video’s

We have collaborated with our CPD officer colleagues and are currently working on a series short videos to help you use your everyday learnings on the job, so to speak, as valuable CPD opportunities that don’t require huge time. We will bring these to you in the coming weeks.

In the coming weeks we would like to keep in contact with you. We would be delighted if you could contact us at cpd@acslm.ie with items of interest, interesting stories, new science, photographs etc.
If you have or can produce video/podcast of journal clubs or anything exciting happening in you laboratory, we would be delighted to air it on the website.

Volunteer Laboratory staff for assisting with the increased workload resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic

I am compiling a register of medical scientists & medical laboratory assistants to assist with the COVID-19 pandemic.
I have received an enormous response to this call out from all over Ireland.
Each person that volunteers gets added to a standby list. The list is sent out at the end of each working day to all Laboratory managers, chief medical scientists and HR departments of the HSE.
If a volunteer gets placed, he/she emails me to let me know and I remove their details from the standby list therefore keeping the standby list current and up to date.
