FutureDx Summit 2026 · Reach POCT Coordinators
Win the POCT Coordinator, Win the Rollout
The POCT coordinator governs point-of-care testing across an entire trust, from the emergency department to the community. Get a new device past them and it scales. Miss them and it stalls. FutureDx gets you the meeting.
P.S. Clinical performance gets you noticed. Governance, connectivity, and training get you deployed.

The persona
Who Runs Point-of-Care Testing
A POCT coordinator, often a senior biomedical scientist, owns the governance, quality, and safety of testing that happens outside the central lab. They standardise devices, manage connectivity, train ward and clinic staff, and keep point-of-care testing compliant and accredited across the trust.
They are practical and risk-aware. A device only scales when it fits how they govern testing, so winning them is what turns one purchase into a trust-wide rollout.
What Sits in Their Remit
The footprint
Where Point-of-Care Testing Happens
A POCT coordinator does not govern one lab. They govern testing across the whole trust, which is why they hold the keys to scale.
Emergency Department
Rapid results where minutes count.
Wards and ICU
Bedside testing for acute patients.
Operating Theatres
Results during the procedure.
Outpatient Clinics
Test and treat in a single visit.
Community and Primary Care
Testing closer to home.
Pharmacy and Near-Patient
Testing beyond the hospital walls.
Win the coordinator and you win the estate. One conversation can open testing across every one of these settings.
The yes
What They Need to Say Yes to Your Device
A coordinator’s yes is not about the headline result. It is about whether the device is safe to run, everywhere, by everyone.
Connectivity and Middleware
Results that flow into the lab system and patient record.
A Quality-Control Workflow
Assurance the device performs reliably outside the lab.
Ease of Use for Non-Lab Staff
Testing that nurses and clinicians can run and trust.
Training and Support
A rollout they can deliver and sustain.
Accreditation Fit
Alignment with ISO 15189 and MHRA expectations.
Fleet Standardisation
Fewer device types to govern, not more.
The room
The Operational Leaders You Are Reaching
Point-of-care coordination sits within a wider room of senior diagnostics and lab operations leaders. Here is who is in it.
Delegate Seniority
The People Who Deploy, in the Room
FutureDx is built around infectious disease and molecular diagnostics, where point-of-care testing is central, so lab and operational leaders are core to the audience. Tell the team the roles you want and the meetings are matched. Reach them through the 1:1 meetings programme or a sponsorship package.

Questions
Reaching POCT Coordinators, Answered
Will POCT coordinators be in the room?
FutureDx is dedicated to infectious disease and molecular diagnostics, and point-of-care testing sits firmly within that. Laboratory and point-of-care operational leaders are part of the audience. You can tell the team the roles you most want to meet, and meetings are matched as far as the room allows.
POCT coordinators care about governance, not sales pitches. How does this help?
That is exactly why a pre-arranged meeting works. You get the time to talk connectivity, quality control, training, and accreditation, the things a coordinator actually has to solve, rather than leading with a product pitch they will tune out.
How do I get the right operational people in meetings?
You share the roles, trusts, and settings you want to reach, and the team pre-arranges the meetings before the event. You arrive with a planned diary instead of hoping to find the right operational lead on a busy floor.
Who else will we meet alongside them?
The room is 150 plus senior diagnostics professionals from across the UK, including laboratory, microbiology, and pathology network leaders, more than 60% at VP level and above, every one validated before they register. See reaching consultant microbiologists and NHS lab directors.
How many meetings can we get?
It depends on your package: pre-arranged meetings range from 6 with Gold to 15 with Headline, or up to 20 with the standalone 1:1 Meetings programme. Each is a confirmed conversation with a validated buyer.
Is the inaugural edition worth it?
The room is capped and validated, and your spend is tied to confirmed meetings rather than the gamble of footfall. For reaching the people who decide how point-of-care devices are deployed, a small curated room is usually more productive than a large unfiltered one.
When and where is FutureDx Summit 2026 held?
FutureDx Summit 2026 runs across two days on 27 and 28 October 2026 in London, UK, with a drinks reception on Day 1.
