Test results

Please help us by ensuring any specimens you are requested to provide are given in the correct container and are labelled. Failure to do so will mean the laboratory cannot process your specimen. Specimens must be brought in before 12pm.

Appointments for blood tests may be booked with our treatment room up to 4 weeks ahead.

The doctors review all test results. You will be contacted if any follow up is required. Please make sure we have your correct address and telephone number.

You will be advised of the usual length of time before we can expect results.

Please understand that we are bound to maintain patient confidentiality and therefore results will only be disclosed to the patient (not their spouse/partner) or to the parents of minors, i.e. under the age of 16 unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.

For results please call the practice on the test results line 028 9056 3390 – the receptionist will be able to tell you if any action is required based upon the doctors comments, and book an appointment if required.

If you have been contacted by a doctor about your results please phone the practice 1 week after your bloods have been taken
