Select Test(s) by clicking on one or more tests from the preloaded list (e.g., Urine MCS, Blood Culture, Throat Swab MCS, etc.).
To add a new test not listed, type the name into the textbox and click the "+" button.
Provide Additional Details (If Applicable) by selecting the Specimen Type, Specific Organism, body part, or view based on the nature of the test.
Set Priority by choosing whether the test is Regular or Urgent using the priority buttons.

Once all investigations are added, click "Checkout" to complete the process.
The request will be marked with the name of the person who submitted it (e.g., Added by: Mr James Francis).
