Point-of-Care
Testing Services
What is Point-of-Care Testing?
With Point-of-Care testing, physicians and medical staff can obtain real-time, lab-quality diagnostic results in minutes rather than hours. Traditional laboratory services are carried out using small, portable analytical devices that test blood, saliva, and urine. These tests can be conducted in a patient consultation rather than in a laboratory. Testing at the “point of care” streamlines the diagnostic process and helps ensure patients receive the most efficient and effective care when and where needed. Tests we offer include Urinalysis, Pregnancy Testing, Covid Antigen testing and Certification and Blood Glucose Monitoring.
The Benefits of Point-of-Care Testing
Point-of-Care testing means results are available in minutes for rapid diagnosis, follow-up, and action. Bringing diagnostic devices conveniently and immediately to the patient can offer peace of mind, faster diagnosis, and as a result, improved patient care. A detailed and accurate picture of your health status can be obtained in minutes, allowing the medical practitioner to explain the results, point out abnormalities, discuss recommendations, make referrals, or confidently begin treatment. For more information on Point-of-Care testing, please get in touch with your local Lavelle’s Pharmacy.
TRAVEL AND EU DIGITAL COVID CERTIFICATE
If you get a negative test, you will receive an email with your EU Digital Covid Certificate. If you require this test for international travel, please ensure you are familiar with the current requirements of the country you are entering. While some countries accept the results of rapid antigen tests (RATs) if taken less than 48 before arrival, others do not. It is your responsibility to book the test you require for your circumstances. Please be aware that the age requirement for testing of children also varies by country.
