All specimens to go to the Hospital Laboratory must be handed in by 12 noon for the morning collection and before 4.30pm for the afternoon collection.

Please telephone after 1.30pm and inform the receptionist if you are calling for a result.

Results can only be given out to the individual patient, unless permission is authorised.

Please note that unless a GP/Nurse has requested a sample and it is in an appropriate collection container labelled with your details we cannot accept any. Any samples that have been handed in without this will be disposed of.
