Samples
If you are asked to bring a sample to surgery please hand it in at reception before 12pm to allow transportation to the laboratory. All samples must have the patients name, date of birth and date and time of sample.
Test Results
Our telephones are very busy in the early morning. If you are ringing for results please try to call the surgery after 2pm.
Routine blood test results usually take 3-5 days. Certain tests such as X-rays or scans can take up to 4 weeks for the results to come back to the surgery.
We will try to contact you if there is an abnormal result or if further action is required. Please make sure we have an up-to-date contact number. If you have not heard from us and you wish to know the results, please call the surgery after 2pm.
Alternatively, you can use NHS App or Patient Access Online to download or view your test results.
To ensure confidentiality, we only release results to the patient, unless prior consent has been given by the patient in writing.
