‘Point of Care’ is a term used to define any testing, procedures or examination(s) that is conducted in the immediate vicinity of the client (You).  It is generally applied to testing and procedures that can be conducted when you actually visit the clinic as a healthcare consumer, hence, it can also be referred to as ‘In-clinic Testing’.

Nature’s Medicine utilises a number of point of care testing (PoCT) or In-clinic testing tools.  A summarised list can be viewed here.

The advantage of offering point of care testing is that it yields immediate results, which may enable a more focused treatment plan relevant to your health goals.  The benefit to you is that this ultimately leads to faster results. The other advantage is that they can be easily re-tested to monitor progress towards your health goals.
