Common Questions:
Q: Can i go to another hospital to have my bloods taken?
Unfortunately no, while we understand you may have a preferred hospital, all of our tests are sent to the laboratory at Kingston Hospital for testing. Our communicating systems allow your results to be sent directly back to your medical records and to the Doctor who requested them. Taking your blood test form to another service will result in you being turned away.
Q: What do i need to take with me?
Please remember to take your blood request form to the hospital. You can ask your GP during consultation or our reception team to print this for you.
Q: Can i have my blood test form emailed to me?
We’re not able to email blood test request forms. These forms must be printed on special pathology paper, which includes a barcode that is attached to your samples. This ensures your test is processed safely and correctly. Please collect your form directly from the practice
Q: How long does it take to get my results back?
On average it takes 3-7 days for your results to come back. If you have not heard from the practice after 7 days , please contact our reception team who will be able to look into this for you
Q: I already have my bloods back, but i would like to discuss them?
If your GP would like to discuss your results with you, you will be contacted by our team. However, if your results have been recorded as normal and you would still like to discuss them further, please complete a form using the link below.
