Laboratory Specimens

Specimens requiring analysis are sent to the hospital laboratories by regular van runs which leave the Health Centre at approximately 11 am and 3 pm. Please ensure that samples are handed in well in advance of these times in order for our staff to prepare them for transit. Please try to avoid sending samples on a Friday afternoon. If you are asked to come for a blood test it is always best to attend in the morning. Specimens are collected at the Community Desk.
