Diagnostic Tests

Our Policy

Sometimes your Healthcare Professional may ask you to undertake a test to help with the diagnosis of your condition.

They can include 

• Blood Tests
• X Rays and Scans
• ECGs
• Spirometry

We offer blood tests at Lonsdale Site to our patients over 16, as long as they have been requested by one of our clinical team.

Clinics are available daily with an HCA Monday to Friday from 07.00 to 18.30 pm 

Getting Your Results

Please allow 8 days to be contacted by us regarding your results. All our results are reviewed by a member of the clinical team who ordered the test and review of your file is undertaken. Please be assured that we have a robust system for reviewing test results with failsafe systems in place.

If you have not heard from us within 8 days, please call the Practice and ask to speak to a member of the Team.

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.

You can find out more about your test, their purpose and the way they are performed on the NHS Inform Website NHS Inform

Tests Requested by the Hospital or Private Doctor

Please note we will only perform tests requested by our clinical team. If your Hospital Doctor or Private Doctor has requested for you to have some tests, they should arrange the tests for you directly

We operate this policy to ensure safe patient care.
