Desensitised by Repetition

five years alongside receptor-pharmacology laboratories, and what the School learned from a response that answers less each time it is asked

The School of Continuous Improvement's Impact Report 2021-2026 presents four case studies from its work alongside receptor-pharmacology laboratories: between-bench rounds that narrowed the reported fading of response at a tenth repeated application from a spread of more than forty percentage points to seven, vehicle-only applications interleaved to separate an instrument's drift from a preparation's tolerance, and a Living Dashboard panel whose weekly openings fell to one-thirteenth of its first week by week 31. It closes with a Capability Sprint for laboratory managers and a register of the School's own recurring reminders.
