Welcome to the show! In this first episode of a 2 part series, we sit down with Claire Chang, a professional who executed one a compelling career pivot: moving from a dedicated Biomedical Scientist to an expert in Business Continuity and Risk Management within a law firm. Claire shares her extraordinary professional journey, detailing how the analytical rigour and attention to detail required in the lab were some of the transferable skills she needed to succeed in the new role. We discuss the challenge of mastering new compliance frameworks, how she learned to communicate complex risk scenarios to different stakeholders, and the unique challenges of maintaining operational resilience in a regulated environment. Follow for more in part 2!
From lab coat to law firm: Biomedical Scientist to business continuity with Claire Chang [Part 1]
In this second session of the Only Cells Antibody Identification (ABID) webinar series, the focus was on some weird and wonderful cases and techniques. Everything from Chido/Rogers, Knopps to D and C being G. This session is ideal for biomedical scientists, transfusion practitioners, and trainees looking to consolidate their understanding of red cell antibody identification in a case-based, practical format. Session 1, Tools of the trade can be seen here: https://youtu.be/7oMnxJO9B68 Session 2, Putting it into practice can be seen here: https://youtu.be/NDTBxN9YsNA Presented by: Helen Thom – Biomedical Scientist and RCI Development Lead, NHSBT Hosted by: Anas Nasir – Founder, OnlyCells

Antibody Identification [2/3] - Putting it into practice - Case 4
In this second session of the Only Cells Antibody Identification (ABID) webinar series, we begin with a quick recap of the key techniques covered in Session 1: Tools of the Trade. We then apply those principles in practice by working through three real-life antibody identification cases. Each case is designed to build confidence in interpreting panels, applying inclusion/exclusion logic, and approaching complex serological investigations. This session is ideal for biomedical scientists, transfusion practitioners, and trainees looking to consolidate their understanding of red cell antibody identification in a case-based, practical format. Case 4 can be seen here: https://youtu.be/q-alAccGns8 Presented by: Helen Thom – Biomedical Scientist and RCI Development Lead, NHSBT Hosted by: Anas Nasir – Founder, OnlyCells
Antibody Identification [2/3] - Putting it into practice
Welcome to Part 1 of our Antibody Identification (ABID) webinar series, hosted by Only Cells. In this session, Helen Thom (RCI Development Lead, NHSBT) takes us through the fundamental tools and techniques used in antibody investigations, including: - Panel cells - The Indirect Antiglobulin Test (IAT) - Enzyme techniques - Grading reactions - Inclusion and exclusion logic - DAT and elution methods - Phenotyping vs genotyping This webinar is ideal for trainees, newly qualified biomedical scientists, and anyone looking to refresh their knowledge of transfusion science. CPD certificates were issued to all live attendees. Future sessions in this series will build on the content covered here.

Antibody Identification [1/3] – Tools of the Trade
A junior doctor, a major bleed, and a very calm biomedical scientist, what could possibly go wrong? In this episode of Life in the Lab, we follow a real-time transfusion request from cardiac theatre. With lives on the line, it’s clear communication, not panic, that keeps things moving. Sam handles the pressure like a pro, asking all the right questions to ensure safe, effective blood provision. Because in transfusion, mistakes aren’t just paperwork — they’re patient safety. Whether you're on the phone or on the bench, clarity saves lives. 👩‍🔬 Created by a real biomedical scientist 🎓 Based on everyday lab reality with a dose of humour 🩸 Subscribe for new episodes showing life behind the blood films
