SMS text message service for blood test results

As much as possible, your doctor will attempt to text your blood test results to your mobile phone number registered with us.

Blood samples and other tests are sent to a hospital laboratory for analysis daily. The timing of test results can vary. You can check your results in the NHS App or please allow up to 10 working days for results to come back before contacting us.

If your result needs urgent attention, we'll give you a call to talk about what to do next. If it’s less urgent, we'll get in touch with next steps within a reasonable time frame.

Unfortunately, we are unable to add details of the specific blood test being reported or who the result relates to. Please bear this in mind if your number is shared with someone else.

Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can also view them by:

- using your NHS account (on the NHS website or in the NHS app)
- email the practice on llricb-llr.general.enquiries@nhs.net
- phone or visit us and we will tell you the results are if they are available.

- use our online test results request form, Monday to Friday from . We will respond within 48 working hours during opening times
