The implications of staff shortages in histology are far-reaching:
Delayed Diagnoses: Longer turnaround times for diagnostic results can delay treatment for patients, potentially worsening their conditions. Increased Errors: Overworked staff are more prone to making mistakes, which can compromise the accuracy of diagnostic results. Reduced Research Output: A shortage of skilled histologists can hamper biomedical research, slowing down scientific progress. Employee Burnout: High stress levels and job dissatisfaction can lead to higher turnover rates and a further reduction in staff.
