Welcome to the on-line booking form.
Due to the serious
medical implications and devastating consequences that results from certain tests may give, eg tumour
markers, HIV, such tests will only be entertained upon an appropriate
referral from a medical practitioner; appropriate counselling may be
required, both pre and post analytical.
Certain tests require special handling and pre-analytical
treatment and hence not suitable for sending through the postal system.
Tests, such as 24 hour urine samples, are not suitable for
sending through the postal system. By virtue of having
clicked through to this page, however, means that your test is available to be
booked on line. When your request is received by us, we will
endeavour to send out the appropriate containers, packaging and a pre-paid
return envelope. If a blood sample is required, we will send out the
necessary bottles and needles. You will be required, however, to
have the sample taken from a suitably experienced health care professional, eg
GP , practice nurse, and they may charge a fee for this. Having obtained the
necessary samples, please ensure that they are posted back to the laboratory the
same day to ensure samples are received fresh (try not to post on a Saturday, or
over the bank holiday week-ends). We do not process
payments on-line so will send a payment form with the sample pack and payment
will need to be sent back with the samples.
Please be aware that certain tests are not available using our
on-line booking service due to one or more of the following reasons:
