Getting tests done
Only registered medical practitioners, midwives, nurses and certain other kinds of health professionals are entitled to order laboratory tests. Patients must have a printed signed test request form for blood collections at LabPlus. Patients with electronic orders for tests that must be taken at the hospital should request a printout from their doctor or Awanui. For most tests, patients can have their blood taken at a community laboratory collection room (Awanui). Certain specialised tests may require a visit to one of the LabPlus collection rooms.
