Test Results

test_results8 Please phone the surgery during opening hours, after 10:30, for the results of blood tests, X-rays, smears and other tests.

If we receive a test that indicates that urgent action is required we will try to contact you. It is important that you always let us know of any change of telephone number or address to prevent any problems.

We always encourage you to take a share in the responsibility for finding out your results to allow for the rare eventuality of the result going missing. Do keep any follow up appointments that have been arranged even if your results are all normal.

Please note that we do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect we will only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.

Blood Tests

blood_tests_4 Blood tests have a wide range of uses and are one of the most common types of medical test. For example, a blood test can be used to:

monitor for disease prevention and modification
assess for specific health conditions
see how well certain organs, such as the liver and kidneys, are functioning

A blood test usually involves the phlebotomist taking a blood sample from a blood vessel in your arm where the veins are relatively close to the surface. Blood samples from children are most commonly taken from the back of the hand. The child's hand may be anaesthetised (numbed) with a special cream before the sample is taken.

You can find out more about blood tests, their purpose and the way they are performed on the NHS Choices website.

X-Ray

doctor examining an x-ray An X-ray is a widely used diagnostic test to examine the inside of the body. X-rays are a very effective way of detecting problems with bones and joints. They can also often identify problems with soft tissue, such as pneumonia or breast cancer.

If you need an X-ray, your Doctor will give you a request form which you will need to bring to your X-ray appointment at Broomfield Hospital or St Andrews in Billericay.

You can find out more about x-ray tests, how they are performed, their function and the risks by visiting the NHS Choices website.
