We are pleased to inform you that BHRUT is now live with QFIT testing. The test kit for the collection of samples are now available from Pathology supplies. Please contact David Hill, Pathology Supplies, 01708 435 000 x 6741 to obtain initial supplies.
Following this please can you order further kits from Pathology in the same way that you would order sample pots or blood test tubes. Please write them on the Pathology Stores Order form under the name of ‘QFIT sample tubes’. This form will be updated in due course.
The patient information leaflet is below and is available in a number of languages; please ensure this is provided to patients alongside the special sample tube. Please use the correct specimen pot otherwise the laboratory will not analyse the results. Samples should be sent with a Biochemistry request form from the GP surgery to the laboratory or delivered directly to the laboratory by the patient at King George or Queen’s Hospitals.
This video demonstrates the taking of samples:
Please find here an information sheet which provides further detail on QFIT.
