The Croydon laboratory was absolutely delighted to this month welcome a very special visitor as part of the Harvey’s Lab Tours scheme.
Milana, who dreams of becoming a doctor when she grows up, joined us for a behind-the-scenes look at pathology, and we’re thrilled to say she left even more inspired and determined than when she arrived.
Young Croydon patient Milena has regular samples sent to the laboratory and came to see what happens to her samples once they get to the lab. Her visit was arranged as part of the Harvey’s Lab Tours scheme, which gives young patients and their families a chance to step behind the laboratory doors and see first-hand what happens to their samples.
Visits like this remind us why we do what we do and really bring out mantra of ‘Making every test matter’ to life. And who knows, we may have even inspired a biomedical scientist of the future.
