Blood Tests & Other Investigations

Important Information

• Investigations such as blood tests, ECGs and 24 hour blood pressure monitors are led by our nursing and healthcare assistant team.

• Blood tests must be ordered by a GP in the surgery or a consultant. If ordered by a consultant please have a list of your tests being ordered and/ or ensure we have a copy before attending.

• Blood testing is available at the surgery with our practice nurses Monday to Thursday mornings.

• Because of the large volume of tests done on a weekly basis, it is not possible to contact every patient individually with their results.

• We ask patients to contact the surgery themselves 7-10 days after testing to get their results.

• The doctors or nurses will be in touch if a result requires further or urgent action and Reception will be in contact if your blood result requires follow up.

• Your GP can unfortunately only report on results of tests that they have requested or performed for you.

• Bloods results: If a review consultation in the surgery is required after having a bloods test there is a review fee of €45. Please see our fees page for up to date information.
