Test & Results

Tests and Results

Our phlebotomist is normally available weekly to take blood and appointments are strictly by appointment only. The doctor may request urgent bloods on the day of your appointment. Please call our reception to make an appointment. 

Please remember that on the day of your blood test you must book in at reception, even if you have a pre-booked appointment so that the phlebotomist knows you have arrived. 

Before attending for a blood test your doctor or nurse will have made a note on your clinical record of the blood tests that you need. We can also take blood tests that have been requested by your hospital doctor, but it is important that you bring any forms with you. We will only carry out blood tests that are requested by a Doctor, Nurse or other clinician. 

Please allow at least five working days before telephoning the surgery for your result.  Complex test results may take longer than this to reach the surgery, and your doctor, nurse, health care assistant or phlebotomist will let you know how long to wait before contacting us for the result. 

Please telephone Tuesday to Friday after 11 am for blood results. Please try to avoid calling for blood results on a Monday as this is a really busy day for the practice.

X-Ray and Scan Results 

Please allow at least seven working days before telephoning the surgery for your result.  Sometimes the result will take longer than this and your doctor, nurse or health care assistant will let you know how long to wait before contacting us for the result. 

Please phone after 2.00 pm for your result, as these results are received at the surgery at lunchtime and processed by early afternoon.
