Before your appointment
Preparation & sample collection
Follow the instructions you are given
Some investigations require fasting, a specific collection time, or avoiding certain medicines, supplements or strenuous activity. Instructions are confirmed when you book.
Bring your identification
A valid photo ID is required at collection so that your sample is matched correctly to your record.
Tell us about medicines
Let the team know about prescription medicines, supplements or recent procedures — these can affect how an investigation is scheduled or interpreted.
Ask if you are unsure
If anything about the preparation is unclear, contact us before your appointment rather than after collection — preparation errors can affect reporting times.
