Our practice nurses are very experienced phlebotomists. Your doctor will discuss the appropriate tests with you for investigation and screening. Samples are delivered to St Vincents hospital daily and results are sent back electronically, directly into your personal file.
If you have had blood tests taken in the surgery and are awaiting results please phone the surgery after 7-10 days. The Reception staff are unable to give results as a matter of policy. A message will be taken and either the Nurse of one of the doctors will phone you with the results.
Normal results may be texted via SMS messaging or our Practice Nurse may call you.
Abnormal results may be best followed up with a further appointment. Your doctor will either phone to discuss the result or, if more appropriate, get our reception staff to contact you to suggest making a further appointment.
