Back in 2018, SA Pathology opened up a small collection centre within Health, Counselling and Disability Services (HCDS) at Bedford Park. They&#8217;ve operated here ever since, adjusting their hours based on the demand at different times of the year.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it really easy for students, who have seen <a href=\"https:\/\/students.flinders.edu.au\/support\/hcd\/health\">one of our doctors<\/a>, to get a blood test or similar done at the same time and in the same location.<\/p>\n<p>Also, SA Pathology accept the forms from other pathology labs (e.g. Clinpath, Abbot Pathology). So even if you have seen another doctor, outside of the university, who wants you to get a blood test, you can bring that form into SA Pathology here on campus.<\/p>\n<p>Amazeballs!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why am I telling you all this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t take advantage of a service, unless you know about it, and I am confident that many students won&#8217;t even be aware that SA Pathology is on the Bedford Park Campus.<\/p>\n<p>Hence this blog post.<\/p>\n<p>So next time you need to get a blood test or similar, remember that SA Pathology are in the Student Centre, Level 3, co-located with the Health, Counselling and Disability Service.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6254\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2025\/02\/blood-test.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2025\/02\/blood-test.png 1200w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2025\/02\/blood-test-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2025\/02\/blood-test-1024x256.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.flinders.edu.au\/student-health-and-well-being\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/71\/2025\/02\/blood-test-768x192.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From March 3rd to April 10th, SA Pathology&#8217;s opening hours are Monday to Thursday, 9am to 3pm.
