We are open for the receipt and handling of specimens from 07:00hrs to 01:00hrs. During these periods we assay most of the routinely available tests every day. Laboratory staff are on site until 01:00hrs for clinically essential work.
Out of hours i.e. between 01:00hrs and 07:00hrs the laboratory is covered by a single handed Biomedical Scientist covering Chemistry, Haematology and Hospital Transfusion (available through switchboard) to provide a service for emergency and urgent work only. Routine work will not be processed during this period.
Note samples received before 07:00hrs for acute units (ITU,CCU,SCBU,EMU) will be processed by 09:00hrs, staff will automatically process this work and do not have to be contacted through switchboard.
