<p>The following changes have been made to some job recorders to assist members in their operational shifts:-</p> <p><strong><u>BoB Recorder</u></strong> - Collections from Darlington Memorial can now be made prior to arrival at GNAAS providing arrival at Darlington Memorial is no later than 19:30 to ensure the GNAAS blood box is at Progress House for 20:00.&nbsp; This will probably only apply to those BoB drivers who use the A68 route to Darlington.&nbsp; The DMH collection time restriction within the BoB recorder has been removed to ensure an accurate collection time is entered.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>This will be for a trial period to ensure we don&#39;t encounter any negative feedback from GNAAS regarding late box dropoffs (unforseen issues excluded) so please don&#39;t abuse this change as it will be rescinded if problems arise.</strong></p> <p><strong><u>GP Recorder</u></strong>&nbsp;- The anomaly whereby final drop off time at Freeman was only possible from 20:05 has now been removed to reflect earlier drop offs due to cancelled collections.</p> <p><strong>There still appears to be some members not completing this form and instead putting GP collections into the Std Job Logger.&nbsp; Can we refrain from doing this please as it makes it harder for monthly job figures to be consolidated.&nbsp; This recorder was introduced to make this task simpler for all concerned so it&#39;s puzzling why the old method is still being used.</strong></p> <p><u><strong>Hexham Recorder</strong></u> - We are currently exploring whether the CMG &amp; HEX samples can be delivered to NSECH after the HMP Northumberland collection is completed.&nbsp; Initially we were informed that the samples were required at NSECH for no later than 20:30 however this may not be the case.&nbsp; We are awaiting a reply from hospital management to clarify this and any changes will be made &amp; circulated forthwith.</p>
