Enfer Medical is Ireland’s leading ISO15189 medical laboratory providing accessible and efficient laboratory services in the specialities of Biochemistry, Haematology, Microbiology, Immunology, Virology, and Genomics.

Enfer Medical is the designated partner to Cavan General Hospital in supporting the medical testing requirements of General Practitioners in the Cavan General Hospital catchment area. Our primary goal is to support healthcare professionals including General Practitioners in delivering exceptional care to their patients. We are clinically led and focused on patient outcomes, continually enhancing our operational capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our users while offering innovative testing solutions.

The current test repertoire available to General Practitioners is determined by the Cavan General Hospital laboratory consultants, and has been rolled out to Enfer Medical due to “laboratory information system issues requiring increased staff vigilance in relation to report being issued in Cavan General Hospital. To ensure an optimal microbiology service is provided, Cavan General Hospital has had to assess and reprioritise workload relating to patients in Cavan General Hospital and thus must temporarily suspend all microbiology work from General Practitioners and Nursing Homes effective, 25th November 2024. Microbiology specimens transported by Primary Care Courier Service from General Practitioners and Nursing Homes will therefore be redirected to Enfer Medical”.

We are delighted to provide Cavan General Hospital with a dedicated Enfer Medical GP User Manual which serves as a comprehensive reference guide for GPs. This User Manual can be accessed via the download button to the left. Within this User Manual, you will find detailed information about our service scope, available tests, expected turnaround times, our location and hours of operation, key personnel, clinical advice availability, and other pertinent information to help you easily access our services.
