Waiting Times
Most of our collection centres experience peak times in the morning where waiting times of up to one hour may occur.
You may notice other patients being seen ahead of you. Some patients have urgent or time-sensitive tests, so patients are not always seen in order of arrival.
If you are not fasting or do not wish to wait, you may prefer to attend later in the day.
