The management of the clinical-biological laboratory is under the direction of one or more laboratory pharmacists. The work is varied and includes analytical, consultative and scientific aspects. For this, the Master of Laboratory Medicine has the following competences:
The laboratory pharmacist has a solid knowledge of biochemical, haematological and immunological processes in the human body, a good insight into pathology and knows which considerations are important in the medical decision process. He/she is able to use the appropriate methods to record these processes in measure and number. In interpreting the results he/she is expected to have a good insight into the factors that can influence the results. For this, he/she particularly has a wide knowledge of the repertory of drugs and antibiotics policy. He/she has a consulting role in the interpretation of the results in their pathophysiological context.
Access to patients’ data requires him/her to observe the rules of medical ethics. The duty of professional confidentiality applies as much to the laboratory pharmacist as to the doctors involved in the treatment.
The laboratory pharmacist has to be able to initiate applied research and to support clinical studies.
A laboratory for clinical biology can only function properly when it is run efficiently. In order to achieve this efficiency, the laboratory pharmacist will need insight into the principles of business management, linking maximum service to efficient and economically sound procedures. He/she is responsible for a well-structured laboratory organization, for a good distribution of tasks and work and for the composition of regulations as well as for the rational use of material and means.
It is also the task of a laboratory pharmacist to choose the instruments, reagents and consumer articles.
The laboratory pharmacist takes care of the development and maintenance of a quality system with a manual and specifies all the existing procedures and documents. He/she determines quality policy and sees to it that objectives are reached.
As a member of medical staff he/she guards the laboratory’s interests in the allocation of means and services. Within the medical staff he/she may have to come to an agreement for increasing effectiveness by means of a request policy and/or by defining request procedures.
The laboratory pharmacist is responsible and also civilly liable for the correct application of various regulations in the domain of e.g. safety, privacy, working conditions, environment, hygiene, hospital administration, etc.
Analytical and scientific insight have to be demonstrated during the training apprenticeship in one or more publications in acknowledged scientific magazines.
