Getting your test results

Results normally take about a week to be sent to the surgery from the hospital lab.
Important
The demand for blood tests is greater than we can supply at the surgery. Priority is given to those patients who are particularly frail.
You may well be asked to get your blood test done at either the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading or Bracknell Healthspace. All appointments at these two clinics must be pre booked. To book an appointment please follow the link below:
www.swiftqueue.co.uk/royal_berkshire
Then follow the instructions to book an appointment.
Patients having blood tests done at the hospital will be asked to confirm the following information:
- Date of Birth (DOB), name and address
- NHS number (if known)
Once above details are confirmed by the patient, the phlebotomist will print the form and take the bloods. You do not need to take a form with you from the surgery as the request is made electronically by your clinician.
*Patients who are unable to confirm their details without assistance can arrange to bring a carer, interpreter, or family member with them.
Blood Tests for Children
We are no longer able to take blood for children up to and including the age of 11 at the surgery.
Children up to the age of 11 will have to book a blood test with Kempton Day Bed Unit – they can no longer attend the Path Lab as walk-in patients.
Clinics are held for five to 11-year-olds at Kempton. Clinics run on Tuesdays, 09:00 – 12:00 and Fridays, 13:00 – 16:00.
For children under five please contact Kempton Day Bed Unit for a date and time for the child to be seen. EMLA cream can be applied on the ward.
