| Help... !
Doing an MSc is becoming more and more "the done thing" - for the last four
or five years we've had two people at any one time doing MScs and I'm fast
running out of project ideas for them.
The main problem is that they need to do a decent quality piece of research
and as a district general hospital, we just aren't a research institution.
Any suggestions gratefully received :o)

| In any particular discipline?
Annie ;o)
ps - JD about to be handed in. You heard anything yet?

Ostensibly haematology, but multi-disc is good.
Heard anything - the senior chief job I went for
Age discrimination - I was told I'm too young !!

But you are a source of "problems" and perhaps data. What problems do
you folks talk about? Assays that aren't satisfactory? New ideas that
no one has yet had time to try (and compare with old)? Analyses of how
your data is used -- which tests give results that are actually
useful?
Depends of course on the field of the student.
A good student should be able to spend some time watching you, and see
some project ideas emerge. You can speed that up by raising issues
that are on your mind.

Nothing we can do in the lab!! - Technical/professional problems go straight
back to the commercial companies who supply us.

Again straight back to the commercial companies who supply us.

For an MSc they want somewhat more than a comparison of two kits

Generally the medics reserve that sort of thing for themselves

Sorry to sound negative, but... :o(

| Anything that can tie test quality, laboratory quality control, or
laboratory management practices to clinical outcomes. It's amazing, but
there is almost nothing in the pathology/lab med literature that examines
how the quality of testing or lab management actually impacts patient care.
