Going Forward
An end of Project report is being prepared along with a post implementation review and these will be documented over the coming weeks. This has been a highly successful project but there are a number of key learning points for similar projects and also for business as usual operational activity.
Work is continuing to finalise the development plan that covers the next phase post 1st December 2022 through to November 2023 covering the accreditation aspect and also further method development and service improvement. The first part of this is a UKAS visit scheduled for 28th – 30th March 2023. This will also include linking in with the work from the Forensic Services Committee that relates to the Drugs Driving Toxicology work.
Future management information reporting for the Post Mortem Toxicology services will be encompassed within the reports provided by Forensic Services in line with the Police and Fire Reform (Scotland) Act 2012.
