Appointments for blood tests are available every weekday morning. Due to the transport of the samples to the hospital we are unable to offer this service in the afternoon.

Hospital Blood Tests

We are aware that many of our patients will be asked by their hospital consultants to request to book a blood test at the surgery prior to a hospital appointment. Although we are now able to offer these at the surgery, sometimes it may not be possible to do this in a short timeframe if this is requested by a hospital consultant.

In this instance we would advise booking your appointment with the hospital phlebotomy clinic. Please note that the results of these tests do not come back to the practice, they will be returned to the requesting consultant at the hospital

Blood test results, that are requested by a clinician at the practice, usually return within 24-48 hours (this does not apply over the weekends when the practice is closed).

If there is any follow up action to be taken then the practice will either send you a message or phone you to arrange this.

Due to the number of blood tests and scan results we receive it is not humanly possible to notify every patient if their result is normal, however results can be viewed on your online patient record.

Access can be requested via the reception team, please note you will need to come into the practice with a form of photo ID or complete the registration form here (/navigator/register-for-online-services/)
