About
Lab Tests Online UK helps patients, carers and the wider public understand the laboratory tests used to diagnose, monitor and manage disease. It explains why tests are requested, what samples are needed, and what results may mean, using accessible language.
All information on Lab Tests Online UK is written, reviewed and updated by laboratory medicine professionals with specialist expertise in their field. Content is professionally peer reviewed to ensure it is accurate and up to date.
Lab Tests Online UK is owned and managed by the Association for Laboratory Medicine (LabMed) with support from the Royal College of Pathologists and the Institute of Biomedical Science.
The site is overseen by the Lab Tests Online UK Board, and an expert Editorial Team of volunteers. As access to digital health services grows and more patients can view their test results online, Lab Tests Online UK plays an increasingly important role in providing trusted, expert-written information to help people understand laboratory testing and their own health.
