Sample transport

There are transport services that collect samples and delivers consumables as required from surgeries and clinics across the county. It is important that you ensure any samples taken are picked up on the first possible collection and not left until the end of the day before being sent to the laboratory.

It is important that when samples are transported this is done safely and legally. Any queries regarding the safe transport of specimens can made directly to the appropriate laboratory.

For more information regarding sample transport please refer to the Pathology Transport Policy, which is available below.
