This vital service helps determine when patients are to be given their chemotherapy and it is crucial that the results are available quickly and accurately. By using the Healthcare at Home Clinic pathology service, the Bristol Oncology Consultants often have the results either before or during their consultations, without the need for the blood to be sent elsewhere.
