About Berufsvereinigung der Naturwissenschaftler in der Labordiagnostik e.V., BNLD

Wir beziehen Stellung gegenüber Gesetzgeber und Behörden, um unseren von Objektivität und Sachverstand geprägten Einfluss auf politische Entscheidungen mit Tragweite für die gesamte Labordiagnostik geltend zu machen und organisieren berufspolitische Fortbildungsve­ranstaltungen.
