The Transport and Processing of Laboratory Samples

Beaumont Hospital

The Clinical Directorate of Laboratory Medicine processes more than 5 200 000 tests each year, with a total repertoire of over 800 different test types offered. Owing to Beaumont Hospitalโ€™s National Specialities and National Cancer Referral Centre remit, a significant proportion of tests are referred onwards to other laboratory sites for processing. This contract concerns the transport and processing of samples that are currently referred to external laboratories by the Clinical Directorate of Laboratory Medicine. While the Hospitalโ€™s reasons for โ€œoutsourcingโ€ particular laboratory tests vary, generally, a decision is made to refer a test type to an external facility for reasons of efficiency and to ensure the availability of appropriate technology.
