New COVID-19 testing site opens at Dungog

SHARE

From today residents in Dungog will have a new place to turn to if they need a COVID-19 test.

Local family pathology practice Medtech Services and their partner 4Cyte Pathology are opening the clinic to continue their important COVID-19 services.

Located at the Dungog Bowling Club carpark, Nick Burns of Medtech Services says the organisation is proud to be providing the region with accessible and reliable coronavirus testing.

By appointment only, the drive-thru clinic will open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8am to midday.

“Together with our laboratory partner 4Cyte Pathology, we have been able to provide reliability in COVID-19 testing result times for the better part of 18 months now,” Mr Burns said.

“Our local team based at our Wallsend hub have been a big part of that, doing much of the pre-analytical specimen processing.

“Helping to keep our testing capacity expandable, and test result times as fast as possible, we recently introduced an electronic patient check-in system at our drive-thru testing clinics, which also makes the drive-thru experience much faster for patients, and allows us to quickly respond to communities in need.

“It’s part of our longstanding family service based ethos to provide the best care we can for patients.”

Testing is available for all ages including infants.

Medtech Services also run clinics at Anna Bay, Belmont, Charmhaven, East Maitland, Speers Point, Wallsend, Warners Bay and Wickham.

Anyone with even the mildest of COVID-19 symptoms is urged to come forward and get tested.
