Specimen samples
Please note that we cannot accept urine or blood samples later than 10.30am. This ensures the hospital receives a fresh sample that day enabling them to give the best result.
Sample pots are only available on request by a doctor or nurse. If you require a sample pot for other reasons, please speak to our reception team who will be happy to provide one.
How to get your test results
- Use your NHS account (on the NHS website or in the NHS app).
- Phone us (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6.30pm)
- Collington, Pebsham and Sea Road 01424 320222
- Ninfield Surgery 01424 892569
We recommend that you telephone for results in the afternoon when the telephones are less busy.
The doctor, practice nurse or healthcare assistant will advise when your results should be available. Please note that X-ray results take a little longer, usually 7-10 days.
Receptionists can only give results over the telephone, with the approval of the doctor. If the result is complicated, or if the doctor wants to see you about the result, we will offer you a telephone appointment.
We have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. 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.
