In this episode of Pathologically Speaking, we sit down with Robyn Seberry, the long-serving lab manager and supervising scientist at NSW Health Pathology’s Forbes Laboratory.

Robyn talks about her passion for pathology and the joy of living and working in a close-knit regional community. She shares the variety that comes with her role, from working in the lab, seeing patients face-to-face in the pathology collections service, collaborating closely with the local health district and getting the best out of her “small but mighty” team of staff.

Robyn also reflects on some of the lab’s toughest moments, including the 2022 Central West floods, when the Forbes lab pulled together to keep vital testing services running safely and reliably, even as river levels rose and roads became inaccessible.
