When you have a blood test taken within the surgery, you will be given advice on when to telephone for the results. Urine samples will be tested initially within the practice. If the sample needs to be sent to the laboratory for further investigations the results will normally be available after 48 hours. Reception staff will advise. If you are phoning for a result, it would be helpful to us if you would avoid phoning until after 10.30am each morning as this is our busiest telephone period.
