Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that BHRUT will be starting qFIT testing on Monday 3rd June 2019. The test kits are now available and you should be receiving them within the next week. Please could you contact David Hill, Pathology Supplies, 01708 435 000 x 2806 if you have any queries regarding obtaining the kit.
Following this please can you order further kits from Pathology in the same way that you would order sample pots or blood test tubes. We have added them under on the Pathology Stores Order form under the name of QFIT sample tubes’
This is what they will look like
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 can be sent 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:
The results will come via path links and the READ code is 47K.
