Closing the Lab Industry Talent Gap: Unleashing Jiteen Ahmeed's Expertise, the Head of Technical Services, to Fill the Funnel!
Today, we have the privilege of speaking with Jiteen Ahmeed, Head of Technical Services at University Radiological, to discuss the talent gap in the lab industry and potential solutions.
Welcome, Jiteen!
- Jiteen, what do you believe are the primary reasons for the talent gap in the lab industry in the UK?
There are a few key reasons contributing to the talent gap.
Firstly, salary plays a significant role as professionals are enticed by higher-paying opportunities in other sectors.
Additionally, Brexit has had a considerable impact, causing talent to leave the country or relocate elsewhere.
Moreover, job descriptions that are too specific can limit the pool of candidates.
To address this, we should consider broader job descriptions and make use of recruitment services while ensuring honesty and managing expectations throughout the hiring process.
- How does the talent gap in the lab industry affect the overall healthcare system in the UK?
The talent gap poses several challenges to the healthcare system.
For instance, securing pharmacists has become increasingly difficult due to complicated visa applications and higher living costs.
This results in prolonged vacancies, disrupting the workflow within healthcare organizations.
Additionally, the lack of a skilled workforce combined with stringent visa requirements exacerbates the talent gap.
We have also observed nurses exploring alternative schooling processes, further straining the system.
- In your opinion, what steps should the UK government or educational institutions take to address the talent gap in the lab industry?
Ideally, we would have avoided Brexit, as it has significantly impacted the talent pool.
However, going forward, the government and educational institutions should work towards facilitating the visa application process and consider exceptions, similar to what has been done for hauliers.
Additionally, we need to focus on upskilling the existing workforce since a substantial number of experienced professionals have recently retired, leading to a loss of valuable knowledge.
Prioritizing ongoing professional development and training programs is crucial.
- Are there any specific skill sets or qualifications currently lacking among lab professionals in the UK?
While professionals can enroll in courses to gain theoretical knowledge, it is equally important for them to learn from experienced individuals and apply that knowledge practically.
Increasing the number of apprenticeships and diversifying their experiences would be beneficial.
The introduction of T-Levels, which provide practical experience in healthcare, engineering, and labs, has been quite valuable.
Changing attitudes towards T-Levels is also essential, as they bridge the gap between traditional A-Levels and apprenticeships, offering practical exposure to the field!
- What strategies or initiatives have successfully attracted more talent to the lab industry in the UK?
Two notable initiatives that have been effective include T-Levels and the Technicians Commitment.
T-Levels provide students with practical understanding and experience in the lab industry.
The Technicians Commitment has played a significant role in recognizing the diverse responsibilities of technicians and raising the profile of lab careers.
Moreover, substantial investments and government involvement have increased awareness and interest in lab professions.
- How important do you think ongoing professional development and training programs are in closing the talent gap in the lab industry?
Ongoing professional development and training programs are vital in narrowing the talent gap.
It is crucial to coach and empower staff, providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge.
However, it is equally important for lab professionals to enjoy their work.
Recognizing and rewarding staff, expressing gratitude, and fostering a positive work environment are crucial aspects of talent retention.
- Do you believe that the perception of the lab industry as a career choice needs to change to attract more talented individuals? If so, what can be done to change this perception?
We should start by educating schools and colleges about the lab industry and the various career opportunities it offers.
We need to showcase the potential and future advancements in the field to attract talented individuals.
Opening up work experience opportunities and engaging with the community can also help change the perception and generate interest in lab careers.
Thank you, Jiteen, for sharing your valuable insights on the talent gap in the lab industry and the steps needed to address this issue. We appreciate your time and expertise 🙂

"All Indian tribes have names for themselves. The largest Indian group in Minnesota calls itself Anishinaabe, which means, 'the original people.' Europeans named them Ojibwe. Some Europeans had trouble saying Ojibwe, pronouncing it instead as Chippewa. But both these names refer to the same people." -- History of the White Earth Reservation
At MAHUBE-OTWA we cultivate new and existing relationships with Indigenous communities with a demonstrated commitment to Ojibwe culture and alignment with our mission. MAHUBE-OTWA serves as a liaison to tribal, regional, and state Native American advisory committees. At least 1/3 of the members on the MAHUBE-OTWA Board of Directors identify as Native American. Approximately 25% of people in poverty in MAHUBE-OTWA's service area are Native American, while only 7% of the clients we help are Native.
Mikinaak Gitigaan is the Native American name for "Turtle Garden". A gazebo at the center of the garden, with plants all around its perimeter imitates the shape or image of a turtle.
Community members met in May 2023 to make plans for converting open space on the west side of the Detroit Lakes MAHUBE-OTWA office building into a community garden. The following month, volunteers and staff added raised planter boxes and planted fruit trees, bushes, and flowers, including sacred American Indian medicine plants - cedar, sweetgrass, sage, and willow/dogwood. Over the summer a gazebo was built; children's sandbox, picnic tables, benches, and a pet-friendly dog station were added as well as crushed rock walking pathways. The public can use free wifi and electrical plug-ins to re-charge devices near the garden.
Everyone is welcome to plant, weed, water, dig in the dirt, or rest, play, walk, picnic, and observe the garden. This is community space with fruits and vegetables available for people to plant, nurture, and harvest food. The space is youth-friendly for children and youth to play and learn about gardening and our natural environment. In 2023, we will add signs explaining the various items in the garden.
Questions about the garden? Contact the MAHUBE-OTWA Indigenous Outreach/Tribal Liaison at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Below are listed what MAHUBE-OTWA is currently doing in our communities to promote outreach, equity, and inclusion.

"Completing the Circle of Care" Palliative care conference Jinja, Uganda, August 2005.
by Anne Merriman and J Jagwe.
Note: Because of space limitations, this is a shortened version of the summary provided to us by Merriman and Jagwe.
This was the second biennial conference for the Palliative Care Association of Uganda (PCAU) and a fitting occasion for the conference with the sewing of the seeds for Hospice Jinja. Over 260 delegates attended this three day conference - all from Uganda.
Dr Amandua, commissioner for Health Services, represented the Minister of Health (MOH). The speech reiterated the support for Palliative care services in Uganda and its incorporation into the five year plan commencing this year.
The Keynote address, by Faith Mwangi Powell, Executive Director of African Palliative Care Association (APCA), on "Palliative Care in a Changing Environment" set the scene for the conference, relating how care had been set aside in favour of cure at the advent of antibiotics, and how that care could be pushed aside in the era of antiretroviral agents (ARVs) and reminding us that Palliative Care and ARVs must move side by side and hand in hand.
Hospice Jinja is a new venture that is still in utero. It has trained personnel to give appropriate care and the finances to support them are not yet in place. However the premises have been supplied by the DDHS next to the DDHS's office and we are extremely grateful for this – a ribbon cutting was held.
At the opening of the conference the concept of palliative care was clearly defined. Definitions are now becoming more important as organisations seek a share in the cake being given by palliative care by donors.
Our own Uganda experience, although recognised as a leader in Africa , is far from universal in our country. Many patients still live and die in pain. Our efforts need to be streamlined to reach the poorest, those who still cannot reach a health worker for whatever reason must be reached with this form of care.
It was recognised that the extent of the demand for palliative care in Uganda is on the increase. Those who are trained to carry out palliative care may be constrained by lack of time and resources to give their patients and families the service they have been trained to give. Also many who are trained are still left to fulfill their fulltime posts in the health service and PC is seen as something that can be done in addition. The need for time for each patient, training of others in the Districts and advocacy, is asked of our trainees and was brought to the fore.
The increased recognition of the need for pain and symptom control to complete the circle of care, from the HIV/AIDS sector and the AIDS commission in particular, gives great hope for the increased grafting of palliative care, onto support groups for HIV/AIDS.
The effective delivery of a palliative care programme cannot be achieved without support from the Government and other interested partners. However, a review of the Government health care system in Uganda which started with a statement of the size of the budget (set at $13.4 per person per year), the cost per week for the care of a patient being cared for by the HAU (Hospice Africa Uganda) team, together with the telling statistic that over 50% of the population never see a health professional, gave a stark indication of the severe financial limitations which are imposed on any new initiative. The most urgent priority of the Health Ministry is the burden of infections diseases including TB and Malaria, often linked to HIV. Nevertheless the importance of government support for palliative care was stressed. This has been taken up by the Government of Uganda particularly be increasing prescribers and by allowing the nurses and clinical officers trained in palliative care to prescribe morphine as well as carry the torch for PC in their Districts. The importance of training through the centres of excellence in Uganda such as HAU and Mildmay was again stressed, and the responsibility of these institutions to increase capacity for training and adapt training to country needs was again stressed. The use of specially trained and qualified palliative care nurses can be seen as an important step in broadening provision of pain and symptom control.
HAU and other lobbyists can take considerable satisfaction with knowing that palliative care is now formally recognised by government and is part of the current and next 5 year health plan.
The role of oral morphine as a key factor in pain relief was emphasised many times. It was stressed that oral morphine is not addictive, despite the opinion of some senior figures in the medical profession and elsewhere and the importance of establishing sound clinical practice based on evidence was reiterated. The advantages of oral morphine - low cost and easy availability, ease of formulation and dispensing, simplicity of use (including the ability to supply sufficient for a reasonable period time thus allowing home care) - were all described and the process of sensitisation of the key decision makers to its benefits was also discussed. In Uganda 21 of the 56 districts have now received sensitisation, and are subject to the vagaries of supply - oral morphine is available in each of them.
The role of ARVs in changing the life expectancy for individuals and in the country was discussed. However there are many other problems arising which may need palliative care during the course of ARV therapy. The problem arose that the supply of affordable ARVs might stop after the BIG donors withdraw their funding. Dr Amandua assured us that the Government was making provision for this. Meanwhile PC providers need to be aware of the different presentations to PC and the interactions of drugs that can occur when a patient is on ARVs.
As the need for palliative care is more recognised, the need for education and training of the providers in PC is recognised. Yet the places for training are few. The training incorporates clinical skills, special forms of caring, training of others and advocacy. A plea to the MOH was made that at least one person in each District would be dedicated full time to PC while training continues and that later generic carers can incorporate PC into their programmes reaching all.
Looking forward
As the conference drew to a close, its success could easily be recognised. Delegates from Districts all over Uganda came to show that PC is alive and well and moving slowly, but surely, through to Districts, through to community volunteers, and through to the poorest in the villages.
The conference atmosphere was one of mutual support and the importance of sharing experiences was emphasized many times. The opportunity to exchange ideas and particularly to publicise what was happening through the Palliative Care Association of Uganda and the newly formed African Palliative Care Association were constantly reiterated.
It rapidly became apparent that not only was there no competition between the various groups, but also there was a genuine wish to cooperate. Uganda is a wonderful country for beauty (Jinja) and love and caring!!

International Female Ride Day
With eighteen percent of all riders being female, is it any wonder that finally someone got it right and decided to designate a day on the road for the "female" rider? One of the most exciting things to happen for women all over the world is a day dedicated specifically to women and their riding machines entitled, "International Female Ride Day". The second annual, International Female Ride Day officially begins on May 2nd of 2008 in Canada to show the world that women love to ride and to encourage other female riders to ride. Now on the first Friday in May of each year, women will be riding the highways and back roads to show their love of motorcycling. With 4.3 million female motorcyclists on the road today and great events like this, the number will only continue to increase.
International Female Ride Day was organized by a female rider racer, Vicki Gray, who will go down in history not only for great racing but for starting something that is worldwide. Vicki is an innovator and leader with her own website entitled Motoress. Motoress educates, informs and provides an atmosphere of support for female riders. Her website is a good read and a good place to find out about females in the sport of motorcycling.
But guys, don't feel left out. With the interest and publicity in females riding, that just means that your better half may want to get more interested in riding, that is if they are not already. I know many women who decided to ride on their own after riding two up with their significant others. Be supportive of female riders by giving her a big smile and thumbs up!
Until next week, ride, ride, ride.

How Do I Choose the Best Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor?
Choose the best vocational rehabilitation counselor by interviewing multiple referrals given to you by other professionals working with you toward vocational rehab. Specifically eliminate any counselors who you do not feel comfortable speaking with or who you do not feel confident will be able to meet your needs. Take your time in asking for details on the process each counselor recommends for your situation, the assessment process she or he plans to use to determine your needs and the level of confidence each counselor expresses in terms of being able to prepare and place you in viable employment. Ultimately, select the vocational rehabilitation counselor who demonstrates the most skill and experience in working with people in situations similar to yours, and whom you believe will be able to best help you achieve your overall goals.
In order to find the best vocational rehabilitation counselor, you will need to compare the services of multiple specialists against your specific needs. The best way to do this is to rely on referrals from other professionals who are working with you on your recovery. Key attributes to look for include a vocational rehab counselor who is willing to spend adequate time helping you prepare for and obtain suitable employment, as well as someone who is experienced in helping rehabilitate people in situations similar to yours. Vocational rehabilitation counselors should also demonstrate good listening skills and should be willing to advocate on your behalf to be sure that your individual rights are respected throughout the rehabilitation process and beyond.
Choose a vocational rehabilitation counselor who is not only patient and willing to help you, but who also has adequate time to spend with you on a regular basis to discuss your needs, concerns and progress. This person should also be engaged with a healthy network of other professionals who can assist you as needed and the counselor you choose should also be willing to work well with other professionals involved in your rehabilitation. In addition to this, a good vocational rehab counselor should be willing to remain on your case for a period of time after you are employed to determine whether or not you need supportive services to continue with your employment.
In the process of choosing the best vocational rehabilitation counselor, consider each counselor's training and education in vocational rehab. In particular, search for counselors who have been educated in subjects related to your unique needs. For instance, if you are in substance abuse recovery, try to pair yourself with a counselor who has received an education in drug and alcohol recovery, as this person is far more likely to understand concerns you may have, as well as barriers you may face, which someone who is enrolled in vocational rehab after physical recovery from a personal injury may not have.

Hospitality firm OYO on Monday said it will raise $1.5 billion (nearly Rs 10,650 crore), as part of its latest round of funding, which will be utilised for expansion in the US and strengthening its vacation rentals business in Europe.
As part of Series-F funding round, OYO Hotels and Homes Founder and CEO (Global) Ritesh Agarwal, through RA Hospitality Holdings, will infuse approximately $700 million as primary capital in the company. The balance $800 million will be supplemented by other existing investors, the company said.
A significant part of the funds will be diverted towards continued growth in OYO's fastest-growing market – the United States, and in strengthening the company's position in the vacation rentals business in Europe, it added.
Agarwal said the company has continued support of its investors like Softbank Vision Fund, Lightspeed and Sequoia Capital to its commitment of "making #LivingTheGoodLife a reality for over 3.2 billion middle-income people around the world".
"With the Competition Commission of India (CCI) approval now in place, the company will get a capital infusion of approximately $1.5 billion for this mission, supported by me and other shareholders," he added.
On a year-on-year basis, OYO Hotels and Homes is operating profitably at the building level, and at the same time its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) has also improved by 50 per cent, Agarwal said.
"The growth across verticals in India and globally has been phenomenal and we believe that we will be able to build a truly global brand out of India, while ensuring that the business is run efficiently and with a clear path to profitability," he added.
Earlier this year, RA Hospitality Holdings had received CCI approval to invest $2 billion in OYO Hotels and Homes. In order to facilitate this transaction, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Sequoia, are selling part of their shareholding in the company to help the founder increase his stake while remaining invested and committed to the company's long-term mission.
OYO Hotels and Homes currently has more than 35,000 hotels and 125,000 vacation homes in its portfolio.

The monument includes the buried and earthwork remains of the southernmost of
a pair of round barrows on the northern edge of Skipwith Common due south of a
shelter belt of trees called South Moor Belt. The barrow to the north is the
subject of a separate scheduling.
The barrows on Skipwith Common have been investigated on a number of occasions
by antiquarians. Their interest was mainly concentrated on a small scale
excavations on the square barrow cemetery to the west. No excavations of the
four round barrows on the common are recorded, although Elgee in his 1933
`Archaeology of Yorkshire' notes the find of a Middle Bronze Age cremation urn
on Skipwith Common. It is thought that this would have been removed from one
of the round barrows, possibly by William Proctor and the Yorkshire
Antiquities Club in 1849.
The round barrow survives as 5m diameter mound standing up to a maximum of
0.7m above the bottom of a mainly infilled encircling ditch which is also
included within the monument. It is one of a group of four Bronze Age round
barrows surviving as upstanding earthworks on Skipwith Common. Centred 1km to
the west, there is a square barrow cemetery of Iron Age date which also
survives as upstanding earthworks.
The site of the monument is shown on the attached map extract.
It includes a 2 metre boundary around the archaeological features,
considered to be essential for the monument's support and preservation.

Bowl barrows, the most numerous form of round barrow, are funerary monuments
dating from the Late Neolithic period to the Late Bronze Age, with most
examples belonging to the period 2400-1500 BC. They were constructed as
earthen or rubble mounds, sometimes ditched, which covered single or multiple
burials. They occur either in isolation or grouped as cemeteries and often
acted as a focus for burials in later periods. Often superficially similar,
although differing widely in size, they exhibit regional variations in form
and a diversity of burial practices. There are over 10,000 surviving bowl
barrows recorded nationally (many more have already been destroyed), occurring
across most of lowland Britain. Often occupying prominent locations, they are
a major historic element in the modern landscape and their considerable
variation of form and longevity as a monument type provide important
information on the diversity of beliefs and social organisations amongst early
prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period
and a substantial proportion of surviving examples are considered worthy of
The barrow 830m south east of Adamson Farm, one of a group on Skipwith Common,
has escaped disturbance from intensive agriculture which has affected the
majority of sites in this region. Excavation of similar sites elsewhere have
shown that round barrows demonstrate a wide range of burial rites from simple
scatters of cremated material to coffin inhumations and cremations contained
in urns, typically dating to the Bronze Age. A common factor is that barrows
were normally used for more than one burial and that the primary burial was
frequently on or below the original ground surface, often with secondary
burials located within the body of the mound. Most barrows include a small
number of grave goods. These are often small pottery food vessels, but stone,
bone, jet and bronze items have also occasionally been found.

The EU, currently facing an energy crisis, has become a global leader in technology patents related to hydrogen, a report by the European Patent Office and the International Energy Agency has said.
Hydrogen is considered to be a low-carbon alternative to oil and natural gas.
Global patenting of the fuel is led by the EU and Japan, which accounted for 28 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively, of all international patent families from 2011 to 2020, the report said.
Germany leads Europe with 11 per cent of the global total, followed by France (6 per cent) and the Netherlands (3 per cent).
"Hydrogen from low-emissions sources can play an important role in clean energy transitions, with [the] potential to replace fossil fuels in industries where few clean alternatives exist, like long-haul transport and fertiliser production," said IEA executive director Fatih Birol.
"This study shows that innovators are responding to the need for competitive hydrogen supply chains, but also identifies areas — particularly among end users — where more effort is required.
"We will continue to help governments spur innovation for secure, resilient and sustainable clean energy technologies."
The US, with 20 per cent of all hydrogen-related patents, is the only major innovation centre where international hydrogen patent applications declined over the past decade.
While international patent activity in hydrogen technology remained "modest" in South Korea and China, it is on the rise, the report said.
The study revealed that the UK, Switzerland and Canada are also generating "significant volumes" of hydrogen patents.
Hydrogen, which can be produced from both renewable energy and natural gas, is expected to play a key role in the coming years as economies and industries transition to a low-carbon world to mitigate climate change.
The fuel comes in various forms, including blue, green and grey. Blue and grey hydrogen are produced from natural gas while green is derived from splitting water by electrolysis.
Global hydrogen demand reached 94 metric tonnes in 2021, a 5 per cent increase on demand in 2020, driven mainly by a recovery of activity in the chemical sector and refining, according to an IEA report.
Low-carbon ammonia, which is made from nitrogen and clean hydrogen, is the most promising hydrogen carrier and potential clean fuel for a wide range of applications, including transport, power generation and fertiliser production.
The IEA and EPO report found that low-emission innovation generated more than twice the number of international patents across the hydrogen value chain than established technology.
"Harnessing the potential of hydrogen is a key part of Europe's strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050," said EPO president Antonio Campinos.
"But if hydrogen is to play a major role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, innovation is urgently needed across a range of technologies."
Start-ups with patents attracted more than half of the $10 billion in venture capital funds invested in hydrogen companies from 2011 to 2020, the report said.
More than 80 per cent of late-stage investment in hydrogen start-ups went to companies that had already filed a patent application in areas such as electrolysis, fuel cells or low-emission methods for producing hydrogen from gas, the study said.

Exchanging currency at your own rate gives you the flexibility to submit your own proposal for the rate at which you want to make the currency conversion. We recommend this option for clients who are prepared to wait for the transaction to be finalised.
To order exchange at your own rate, after logging in to Amronet.pl, go to the tab New exchange order, then indicate the currency pair to be exchanged, e.g. PLN/USD, enter the amount and choose YOUR PRICE.
If your exchange rate differs from the market rate, the time of finalization may be significantly prolonged.
Can I change an already placed order?
No. An order cannot be cancelled once it has been finalised. However, if the order consists of partial amounts (in the case of an exchange at our own rate), the amounts that have not yet been exchanged will be cancelled.
To check the status of a given order, as well as to cancel it, please use the tab Transaction and operations history and the option Cancel order. If the status of your order is 0%, you can cancel the entire order.
Note: When you cancel an order, the only cost that may occur is the cost of transferring the withdrawn funds to another bank's account as instructed. The cancellation itself is completely free of charge.
