Issues with air tube system – Sending samples to pathology at Sandwell

January 3, 2023

There is currently an issue affecting the air tube transport system at Sandwell Hospital that is used to send samples to Pathology.

As the air tube system is the primary means of transporting requests to the laboratory, while it is offline, any urgent samples should be walked to the laboratory or sent via porters.

Access to Pathology whilst building works are underway is via the basement.
