Functional Pathology refers to a group of tests used to investigate functional, biochemical, nutritional, metabolic and hormonal status. It is generally requested by a medical practitioner to assist patients with holistic healthcare. This type of testing is done by specialised labs such as Healthscope Functional Pathology.(https://www.healthscopepathology.com.au/index.php/functional-pathology/)
Patients should be directed to a Healthscope Collection facility to ensure that the correct specimens are collected and stored/transported as required.
DO NOT collect samples from patients with requests for Functional Pathology, even if it is on an Eastern Health request form.
