Using the ICE system

Arrow In this section

The Sunquest ICE system links your GP practice directly to our laboratories, meaning you can request results electronically. The system allows you to see pathology and radiology results held by the hospital, including ones you have not requested, and means the laboratory team can see all the information it needs. ICE also keeps an electronic record in a patient's notes so that there is full accountability.

(NB: this information only applies to Oxford Road and Trafford sites)
