Out of Hours and On-Call
Specimens that require immediate analysis must be cleared labelled "Urgent" and sent to the laboratory as soon as possible. Outside normal working hours on the Royal Surrey site, on-call staff should be bleeped or contacted via the Hospital Switchboard.
On Saturday mornings, the Virology laboratory must be telephoned and informed of any urgent samples on route. Outside of normal working hours (listed above), urgent Virology requests should be discussed with your local on-call microbiology consultant. While these samples are not tested on-site, there are some clinical situations in which the sample may be referred to an external laboratory for testing.
Please request a test to be done urgently only when it is essential for immediate patient management.
