Bharat We have an SOP tat is based on the guidance given by the College (http://www.rcpath.org/NR/rdonlyres/29955224-DDCA-461E-BD7B-9A69A7DB21AB /0/g025_outofhoursreporting_nov10.pdf) The BMS staff will contact the clinical biochemist or chemical pathologist on-call and then we will contact the out of hours GP Service. We give the results to them if the patient has been seen by their GP. This generally works well and patients are often admitted to hospital by the OOH service if warranted. With results from patients seen in OPD we try to contact someone from the team on call in the hospital but often we have to fall back on the OOH GP service who normally respond positively. There are not many of these, in fact it must be more than a year since I have had such a scenario. Hope this helps Kind regards Ian Ian Holbrook Department of Clinical Biochemistry York Hospital Wigginton Road York YO31 8HE 01904 725786 -----Original Message----- From: Clinical biochemistry discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Patel Bharat (RWG) West Hertfordshire TR Sent: 18 February 2013 14:53 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: out of hours critical results How many laboratories discuss out of hours critical results with senior clinical person on call to the out of hours services. Under what circumstances (eg high K 6.9) would such contact take place and how? How does one deal with OPD critical results when the caring consultant or the on call reg is not contactable? I try and collate the answers. Many thanks Bharat West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust is applying to become a Foundation Trust and you can be part of this exciting change.
