Couriers

We would be most grateful if you could please let us know when a scheduled courier pick-up is not necessary i.e you have no specimens to collect. Please phone or text 021 173 0208.

Request Forms

Another reminder please that practises still emailing through their patient request forms (those not using e-ordering) to ensure to use the dedicated email address of requestforms@pathlab.co.nz Other email addresses are not frequently monitored which can cause frustration for all parties when the patient arrives and there’s no form.
