labtestsonline.org.au is a free, non-commercial website providing
independent information about pathology testing. It attracts about 88,000
visits a month from the public, medical professionals and students. Information is prepared by pathologists and
scientists working in pathology laboratories and reviewed by an editorial
board.
Topics include: pathology tests, diseases and clinical conditions, appropriate
screening for disease, and specimen collection and processing, as well a
general overview of pathology laboratories, the way they work and the people
who work in them.
The website has been developed by the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists
(AACB) with support from the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia
(RCPA) to address a perceived paucity of trustworthy, impartial internet
information on pathology suitable for a general audience. It has been funded
under the Quality Use of Pathology Program of the Commonwealth Department of
Health and Ageing.
An app is under development and due for release in the second half of 2012.
