Examination results

Blood or urine submitted? If blood has been taken from you or you have submitted urine, this helps the GP to get a fuller picture of your health. The results can help find the right treatment and detect possible health problems early.

On average, the results take two working days to arrive.

Your examination results discuss with your GP

Would you like to discuss your results or get advice from your GP? If so, please contact the assistant at 0297 - 32 78 01, available between 08:00 and 12:30. In many cases, she can answer your question directly. If this is not possible, she will make an appointment with you for a telephone callback by the GP.

Note: Do you have serious complaints or an emergency? Please call the practice or the GP surgery immediately.

Collection of urine

When a bladder infection is suspected, it is important that:

  • The urine has been in the bladder for at least 3 hours.
  • You will urinate in a clean container (available at the practice).
  • You first clean your genitals with water (no soap).
  • You collect a middle stream of urine: start peeing in the toilet, collect some in the potty, and pee the rest back in the toilet.
  • You seal the jar immediately and mark it with your name and date of birth.

Submit the urine to the practice or laboratory as soon as possible. Can't hand it in right away? Then keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
