It is better that samples are taken in the morning as they can be transported to the laboratory on the same day. The samples are collected from the surgery at 2.00 pm daily. Blood tests will not be taken on Friday afternoons as the laboratories are closed at the weekend.

If you are phoning for results please try to avoid first things in the morning as often this is a very busy time for us, and we can deal with your enquiry, dedicating more time to you.
