The Pre-Analytical Area processes up to 5000 samples per day and is the first point of contact and an important part of the patient pathway. All samples enter the laboratory through the Pre-Analytical Area and are fed to the specialist laboratories, Haematology, Biochemistry, Immunology, Microbiology and Histology. The Pre-Analytical Area is extremely important to the care of our patients.

This is a full time vacancy 37.5 hours per week, but part time evenings will be considered. The department runs 24 hrs/7 days per week, split across various shifts (majority 7.30am to 21.00). Nights (as part of the working week) and weekends (as additional hours) are covered on a rotational basis.
