JCTLM Stakeholder status

Hi all

At the beginning of December I attended the JCTLM Stakeholders meeting at BIPM in Sevres just outside Paris.  (I have been involved in JCTLM activities on behalf of UK NEQAS since its inception.)

Subsequent to that meeting, I applied for AQMLM to be a JCTLM Stakeholder and have just heard that this has been accepted.

This means that AQMLM is recognised by JCTLM and can be actively involved in its work in the promotion of metrological traceability in laboratory medicine.

With Seasons Greetings,

Jonathan Middle

Start of the subscription year

Hi all

Today (Sunday 1st October), I have run the module that resets AQMLM membership status. 

All full members, except those who have recently renewed or joined for the new year (1st October 2017 - 30th September 2018), are now reset as website account holders.

If you wish to renew, please do so as soon as possible to maintain your member benefits. 

Ready for IBMS Congress?

Hi

We are nearly ready for the Congress!  Our stand (R6) will be set up Sunday morning and will open with the rest of the Exhibition first thing Monday.  

We will have our usual promotional items and chocolates to attract people to the stand.  As well as the usual daily champagne draw we are having another for anyone agreeing to sign up as a full member during the Congress.  The winner will get free membership and free attendance at a meeting of their choice!

 

Hope to see you there!

Jonathan

Material for the 14th March Training & Competency Workshop

Hi all

I've just posted the provisional programme for the 14th March Workshop on the Forthcoming Events page.

In the afternoon, we intend to have group discussions on the assessment & recording of technical, clinical and managerial competency.

We would like to invite attendees to submit material - ideas, documents, experiences good & not so good etc, that might form the basis of these sessions.  

Season's Greetings!

Dear all,

On behalf of our Honorary President & fellow Directors, I would like to extend to all members and account holders our best wishes for a happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year!  

Perhaps if you get some time over the holiday, you might log in to your account and update your profile - especially your email address, as this is the main means we use to contact you.

Remember that AQMLM is your organisation.  If there is anything you would like us to do to improve and extend benefits to our members, please let us know!

Kind regards,

Events for next year

Hi

Another year has come to an end, and I think I can say that our events have once again been a success.

I have just updated the Forthcoming Events page with next year's fees and discount system (they haven't changed).  You may now pre-register for any of our four events if you wish, or apply for the multiple meeting registration discount system.

Regards

JGM
