The Department operates a 24 hr service, 7 days a week. 

To ensure that immediate attention is given to emergency requests, doctors must phone the laboratory to ensure that staff are aware of the priority. It is the responsibility of the requesting doctor to ensure the sample is sent to the Department.

For out of hours clinical advice, please contact switchboard and ask for the Duty Consultant Biochemist on-call. Consultant advice for immunology is also available via switchboard.
