Standard 6: Partnering with consumers – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 6.04: Accessing specimen collection services: make information available to patients and carers on the collection services offered, contact details, locations, opening hours, bookings and access, access limitations, prerequisites and preparation, follow-up and aftercare, easy-to-understand self-collection instructions aligned to the collection manuals, and how to give feedback and complain

What does 6.04 require?

Patients and carers can find out what each collection centre offers, how to contact it, where it is, when it opens, how to book and how to get in, and what limits on access exist; what they need to do before a test and what follow-up and aftercare to expect; how to collect their own specimen, in plain instructions that match the practice's collection manual; and how to give feedback or complain.
