On-call service
The on-call repertoire includes most general automated biochemistry tests, blood and urine osmolality, CSF scanning, urine electrolytes, and blood ketones. Requests for more complex/unusual tests will be considered on their merits, but we regret that they cannot always be available.
Please be courteous - the on-call staff are probably as busy as you are.
