Welcome to BetterTesting.org.uk
Home of the best practice in primary care pathology project
The site provides information in question/answer style, to around 120 clinical scenarios which are frequently seen in general practice and reviews national and international best practice guidance for testing in these scenarios.
This website is intended as an information source for healthcare professionals, particularly those working in primary care, and may also be of use to individual patients who wish to find out more about the tests they undergo. Patients can also obtain further information on
Lab Tests Online (UK).
The way in which the questions are presented are described in
About this site. Starting from the top of the list the reader can select the relevant questions and access, firstly the guidance and secondly the rationale behind the guidance. The site does not attempt to cover every individual situation which may occur, but rather to provide core information on some of the most common topics.
