Postal pathology services should be considered by all practices in the UK who need a rapid delivery service to the laboratory.

Royal Mail Tracked 24 400X59px

Changes with Royal Mail mean that ALL pathology postal packs are now made up with Tracked 24 returns. This provides a particularly suitable method of transport for any healthcare organisation. Postal pathology with Tracked 24 returns provides:

  • Simple and convenient sample handling throughout the UK for most tests. It is not suitable for microbiology or coagulation samples
  • Scope for large and small numbers of samples
  • Next morning delivery
  • Allows patients and practices to track samples through the Royal Mail system
  • Samples can be posted from any Royal Mail post box, including COVID-19 antibodies
  • Designated Priority boxes for COVID-19 PCR (swab) kits.
  • There is a charge of £2.86 for each Royal Mail Tracked 24 pack. This charge will be itemised in monthly invoices to the practice or patient, as requested.
