Test results

Please note you do not need to contact the Surgery for your blood test results. The Doctor will notify patients by a text message or our Reception will contact you if patients are required to be booked in for a follow-up as per their test result. If you do require your results, and have not yet been notified, please call the Surgery after 3pm.

For specimens, all specimens that are due to go to the Hospital Laboratory should be at the Surgery by 12:00pm (noon).

For blood tests, we now provide blood taking services (Phlebotomy) at the Surgery most days, from 7am. To book an appointment, please call the Surgery. Our Phlebotomists are able to do blood tests for children aged 7 and over (depending on which Phlebotomist is in on which day), so when booking for children below the age of 16, please check with reception when booking. If you are attending the Surgery for a blood test, please make sure you have plenty of water to drink beforehand, this helps to locate your vein.

If you would prefer to have your blood taken at other local Clinics, or alternatively the Hospital, then phone 01702 422555 to book this. Glucose Tolerance Tests must also be booked in this way (they cannot be done at the surgery).
