Global Clinical & Viral Laboratories,

 

Established their services in medical pathology in 2002. Since inception Global has grown tremendously and has acquired leading clientele in the private and public sectors as well as international research companies and insurance organisations. Due to an expansion of services and a need to meet and exceed industry standards, Global, Clinical & Viral Laboratories are delighted to announce the launch of their Training Academy.

 

Global’s Training Academy is fully accredited with HWSETA as a Training Provider and boasts state of the art equipment and resources as well as qualified, passionate and expert training facilitators. Global’s special focus on scarce and critical skills desperately required in South Africa have led to a distinct emphasis on the following training courses:

 

- Medical Technology Training

- Medical Technician Training

- Phlebotomy Technican Training

 

As an organisation that is 100% committed to the employment of under privileged people in South Africa, Global, Clinical & Viral Laboratory is delighted to announce the commencement of the Phlebotomy Technician Learnership. The Phlebotomy Learnership began in July this year and has been accredited by HPCSA.

 

Global Laboratories has initiated 15 students into the Phlebotomy Learnership programme, twelve of which were external candidates and three from within the organisation. Global’s expectations for the student phlebotomists are superior thereby developing a team that is highly ethical and professional at all times. The academy places great emphasis on discipline as the focus towards delivering quality healthcare will not be compromised.   The Academy applies stringent testing processes for assessments in both the theoretical and practical training components.

 

 

Training Academy provides training for Global’s Associates in the research industry on sample collection and compliance with pre-collection requirements. Training is also provided on preparation of the patient, as well as the actual collection and compliance with post collection complications. These training programmes have had an immensely positive impact on staff as the number of rejected samples to the laboratory has been greatly minimised.

 

Global has also had the pleasure of offering training to Life Chatsmed Garden Hospital unit managers on arterial collection for blood gas analysis. The training was successful and Global has now been approached by other Life hospitals for similar training for their nurses.

 

Global’s Training Academy also provides comprehensive in-house training for all Global employees which covers important aspects of medical laboratory science. All Global nurses and marketers from throughout the country attended the in-depth training programme held at the Protea Hotel in Karridene.
