New Laboratory Access

BlueHorizonMedicals profile image

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that we will shortly be able to offer our patients access to a new range of Worldwide Laboratories.

I don't know how long it will take, as it requires a lot of html coding, and I'm a Nurse, not a nerd. Actually come to think of it I am both, and more nerd than Nurse. Hoping to have it all in place by the new year.

Paul. :-)

Paul, this will be of interest to a lot of members.

It's certainly very interesting for us Shaws, lots of very interesting tests.

Personally there are two developments that stand out for me. Firstly a few dry blood sample profiles that make sample collection a breeze and secondly a good raft of Lyme disease testing methods that aren't conditional on a positive antibody result.

Paul, wish you luck with getting it all together. Does this mean that we will have more places to get blood tests from?

Hi J Bee,

Thanks for the wish of good luck, if you could stop the planet spinning for a few weeks that would be better!

More laboratories yes, as for more places to get bled we are working at compiling a list of independent phlebotomy providers, both clinics AND mobile to your door services. Actually that's a great idea for a thread!

Paul.

Paul, that is an excellent list of testing providers. How are your thyroid values doing? PR

Hi PR.

Thank you for your interest. I haven't retested my own Bloods again yet, will probably do so in the new year.

Hopefully my raised TSH was a one off but it would explain an awful lot of things. :-)

Paul

Well, it's now in place, and certainly well in time for the new year. Have a browse.

There are some interesting profiles there, and the turnaround time is approximately 2 weeks for all of them from lab sample receipt.

Merry Christmas,

Paul. :-)
