Waiting for PGT results: a laboratory status tracker

Use this record for this specific task

Distinguish sample collection from laboratory receipt: an estimate may begin at a different event than you assume. Record the issuing team’s actual acknowledgement and whether the expected date concerns analysis completion, report release or a consultation. When an estimate changes, preserve the old date and the explanation instead of silently replacing the record.

Waiting for PGT results: a laboratory status tracker. Use this blank worksheet to organise an enquiry and record answers from the responsible provider. It is not a completed customer case, actual quotation, clinical plan or confirmation that a service is available.

Before completing the worksheet

Use a separate copy for each provider or appointment. Record who supplied each answer and its date. Keep your own priorities separate from the provider’s written confirmation. A blank field means an answer is missing; it does not mean a service is free, included, appropriate or permitted.

Turn answers into a next step

• Send the unresolved questions to the responsible team using its agreed communication route.
• Ask whether any answer is provisional and what would change it.
• Record the named organisation responsible for each action; coordination assistance does not replace that organisation’s decision.
• Keep written inclusions, exclusions and change terms with the relevant appointment or quotation.
• Confirm the next action before making commitments that depend on it.
