Harvey Lab Tours
Last updated: 3rd September 2024
Helping young patients understand their healthcare
Harvey’s Lab Tours (formerly Harvey’s Gang), help young patients and their families feel more at ease by connecting them with the biomedical science staff who process and analyse their samples to help manage and diagnose their illnesses.
Visiting a lab can ease children's fears and offer reassurance, while giving staff a chance to meet the young patients whose samples they work with.
Through this unique experience, patients can see first-hand how lab work supports their diagnosis and treatment.
Why Harvey’s Lab Tours?
Visiting the lab helps young patients to:
- understand the importance of their blood tests and other samples
- meet the biomedical scientists who work behind the scenes
- feel more confident and in control of their healthcare journey.
For families, it’s a chance to ask questions and learn more about the treatment process, making the hospital experience a little less daunting.
