Please make sure that all samples that are to be brought to the surgery are received before 12:00 noon with your full name and full date of birth clearly on the label attached to the container. Without this information we are unable to accept your sample. Containers can be obtained from the reception desk. Any specimens not in sterile containers will not be sent for analysis as they can become contaminated. Please see the images to make sure you have the correct container.
