Northern Beaches Hospital
Clinical Labs will anchor a new laboratory in the Northern Beaches Hospital (NBH), New South Wales. Opening in late 2018, the new state-of-the-art, 488-bed hospital will cater for both public and private patients. We have met with pathology staff currently working at the Mona Vale and Manly Hospitals, many of whom have seen the site and are excited at the prospect of being part of the new hospital. We look forward to welcoming them to the Clinical Labs team this year and being part of one of the best hospitals in Australia.
Hawkesbury District Health Service
Clinical Labs is also proud to offer our laboratory and pathology service to the Hawkesbury District Health Service (HDHS), a 130-bed, privately-run public hospital in North West Sydney. Our Clinical Labs team in NSW will keep HDHS staff and our referring doctors updated with any further news, with the aim of getting the onsite lab and collection centre in place by mid-May.
Skin Excision Evaluation Program
Thank you to those NSW referrers who have signed up to our Skin Excision Evaluation Program. The response so far has been very positive, and as the program grows we look forward to helping more doctors deliver better diagnostic outcomes for their patients.
As we head into the winter months, now would be a fantastic time to encourage your patients to have a post-summer skin check-up. For those who may not be aware of the progam, Clinical Labs offers GPs the ability to earn CPD points by submitting their provisional diagnosis on cases where histological evaluation is needed. A monthly Skin Excision Evaluation Report is then generated for participants showing their performance.
