Onsite Pathology
At Asquith Doctors, patients can access convenient onsite pathology collection services, saving time and ensuring coordinated medical care. Having a collection centre within the clinic means that tests can be completed immediately after your GP appointment, avoiding the need to travel elsewhere.
The onsite pathology centre is staffed by qualified professionals who provide efficient, accurate and gentle care for patients of all ages. Tests are processed through accredited laboratories to ensure the highest standards of accuracy and safety.
What Is Pathology Testing?
Pathology testing involves analysing samples such as blood, urine or tissue to help diagnose, monitor or prevent health conditions. It is one of the most common and valuable tools used by GPs in Asquith to guide treatment decisions and monitor ongoing health.
Routine tests may assess cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney or liver function, or screen for deficiencies and infections. Pathology also supports management of chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and thyroid disorders, and forms part of preventive health assessments and antenatal care.
By having an onsite collection service, patients can complete testing quickly and have results delivered directly to their GP for prompt review and follow-up.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When your GP provides a pathology referral, you can visit the onsite collection centre during opening hours. Simply bring your pathology request form to the collector, who will confirm your details and explain the process.
Most tests are completed within a few minutes. Some require a blood draw, urine sample or swab collection. Patients may be asked to fast before certain tests, such as cholesterol or glucose checks, to ensure accurate results.
Once the sample is collected, it is sent directly to an accredited laboratory for processing. Results are then securely transmitted to your Asquith GP, who will review them and contact you if any follow-up is needed.
