Histology · stage 5 of 5

When it goes wrong, and what happens next

You will be able to store material so a case can be revisited years later, escalate a failure or an exposure through the right channel at the right speed, and stand your ground when something at the bench is unsafe or dishonest. You will also know how external challenge material feeds back into how the laboratory works.
