Alert: Important Update on Blood Test Results

Recent changes at Nottingham Hospital laboratories have affected how GP practices receive blood test results. Instead of being sent in batches, results are now arriving individually and often multiple times.

This has significantly increased the administrative workload for GP practices across Nottinghamshire, causing delays in reviewing, filing, and interpreting results.

We understand this may be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience while this issue is being addressed. We’ve been informed that dedicated teams are actively working on a resolution.

In the meantime, please be aware:

- There may be delays in the processing and commenting of your blood test results.
- You might notice differences between the results shown in your online record and how we are able to file them in our system.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Non-urgent advice: Think Pharmacy First

Going to your local pharmacy offers an easy and convenient way to get clinical advice on minor health concerns, and now community pharmacies can offer treatment for seven common conditions without patients needing to see a GP, as part of a major transformation in the way the NHS delivers care.

Highly trained pharmacists at more than nine in ten pharmacies can now assess and treat patients for earache, impetigo, infected insect bites, shingles, sinusitis, sore throat, urinary tract infections (UTIs) for women aged 16-64 — without the need for a GP appointment or prescription.
