Spotlight: Harvey’s Lab Tours

This year, we’re placing a special focus on Harvey’s Lab Tours. These tours offer young patients and their families an opportunity to visit our laboratories and meet the biomedical scientists who play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing illnesses.

Why Harvey’s Lab Tours?

• Understanding their Tests: Young patients gain insight into the importance of blood tests and other samples.
• Meeting the Experts: They get to meet the dedicated biomedical scientists working behind the scenes.
• Feeling Empowered: By seeing lab processes in action, children and families feel more confident and informed about their healthcare journey.

With new resources and an engaging video, Harvey’s Lab Tours continue to reassure and educate patients, making hospital visits a little less daunting while highlighting the essential work that goes on in every laboratory.
