Tests and Results

 

To obtain your test results please use our accurx online triage system

Samples

These should be handed into reception before 11:00an. These are collected before Midday by the hospital courier. Please ensure any specimen bottles are securely capped / closed, attached to a fully completed request form and are labelled with your name and date of birth, or the hospital may be unable to carry out the test. Sample containers and advice on their use are available from reception. Tests to check for infections (swabs, urine, faeces, sputum etc) take a minimum of 5 working days to be reported by the laboratory as they need time to grow bugs if they are present.

 

Blood Tests, X-Ray and Ultrasound Investigations

Please ring the practice to book a routine blood test.

Routine blood tests are reported from the laboratory to the Practice usually within 5 working days. More complex or specialised tests may have to be sent away to specialist laboratories and may take weeks to be reported. Blood tests for elderly & disabled patients can be carried out by our health care assistant at the practice.

These will be sent by letter from the Health Authority. If you have not received your results 6 weeks after your smear please contact the Practice.
