Had a shorter veil when I graduated in 82
1986 going in for the wild guess lol
Late 1960's early 1970's

Definitely the unsung heroes of the hour. We should be very proud of our testing technicians and supporting staff.

This year we've been quick to adapt to the changing world around us. Our online services have come a long way in the last six months and mum Danika couldn't be happier with the expansion of our virtual diabetes clinics! ☺️
“It’s made life a lot easier to not have to travel or take time off of work to attend an appointment, as you often have to take the kids with you,” she says.
“The virtual clinics are more convenient without the travel and it feels like you are in the room with the Nurse Practitioner or doctor."
Have you found virtual appointments more convenient like Danika? Let us know in the comments! 🙌
