COVID-19 - update to UHL Pathology Laboratory test result turnaround times
As a pathology service we are making every effort to ensure that we maintain the turnaround times of our tests during these challenging times. Over the next few weeks we will need to prioritise critical and time sensitive tests many of which need to be delivered 24/7 and this may require re-deployment of staff. In this setting, the turn round times of some less urgent tests may not meet those stated in the Pathology handbooks. Please be assured that we are monitoring this regularly so we can deliver the best service possible under the current circumstances. This situation is likely to continue for the next 8-12 weeks and may extend beyond this but we will keep you informed. If there are specific issues please discuss these with the laboratory.
