FIT Test sample video
For all samples, please ensure that you bring these in before 12.30pm Monday to Friday as the samples get collected at lunchtime to go to the labs for testing. Not all samples can be kept overnight, and we cannot accept samples after this time on a Friday afternoon as they will not keep over the weekend. In this instance, we will provide you with a new sample collection kit and you will need to provide another sample for another day in the week.
If you have any queries, please contact reception on 463232.
