Laboratory services include Clinical Chemistry, Immunology, Blood Transfusion, Haematology, Clinical Microbiology, Pathology and Molecular Services. Phlebotomy and the Post Mortem Room are also part of Laboratory Medicine. Most elements of the laboratory are accredited to ISO15189:2022. The laboratory forms part of the Diagnostics Directorate and is led by the Clinical Director.

CUH Laboratory Medicine works from within CUH to provide services for the immediate population of 550,000 persons and a supra-regional service to include a total of 1.1 million persons. The laboratory serves in-patients and GP patients, the latter of which comprise as much as 58% of the work in the Blood Sciences Department. Future developments will include further regional alignment as the regional group structure takes shape and further development of molecular services
