Your Doctor will now text you your blood test results routinely if you have registered your mobile phone number with us.
Your result will be sent to the mobile number provided on your record. Unfortunately, we are unable to add details of the test or who the result relates to. Please bear this in mind if your number is shared with someone else or does not belong to you.
Please make sure your details held at the Practice are up to date.
You can opt out of text messaging – Just let the nurse know your preference at your next blood test appointment.
Your blood test results text message may include a message – you must act on the message you receive e.g. Please call to speak to your Doctor.
The timing of test results can vary. We request that patients please leave 10 working days for your results to come back to us before contacting us.
We will always telephone patients if your Doctor feels that they need to speak to you more urgently regarding your test results. If we are unable to contact you by phone, we will send an urgent letter to your registered home address. This process remains unchanged.
