Blood Tests
Abbey Medical Centre (limited availability)
You can have your blood test done at the surgery - your blood test form will be saved on our computers. Please book an appointment via reception.
Blood Test Results
We will receive the results of your blood test within 3-7 working days. We do not routinely contact patients with the results of blood tests, so you should contact the surgery after 1pm to check that your results were normal. We will phone patients with any urgent abnormal test results. Make sure that your contact details are up to date so that we can get in touch with you if necessary.

Private and Occupational Health Blood Tests
If a patient is seeing a specialist privately and they request blood tests it is often possible to arrange these blood tests via the NHS. However highly specialised blood tests, or blood tests which would not usually be arranged by a specialist seeing a patient for the same condition on the NHS, must be arranged privately by the patient.
If a patient requires blood tests or other testing for infectious diseases for their work as an occupational health requirement, we are only able to arrange this for NHS employees. In all other circumstances, patients must either arrange these tests through their employer’s occupational health provider - or, if they do not have access to occupational health, arrange for these tests to be performed privately.
