INTRODUCTION

The Welsh Results Reporting Service (WRRS) allows health care professionals (HCPs) across Wales to access, enter and view laboratory results for pathology requests and any other associated results across all health boards in Wales, from both primary and secondary care. WRRS originates from the Welsh Laboratory Information Management System (WLIMS), which covers all of Wales.

The GitHub repository accompanies and ADR Data Explained output which can be found here and on the ADR UK website.
