Lab results
Sometimes a sample of blood or urine is needed to discover what is wrong with you or to measure something in your blood so that the right medication is given to you. These tests could be anything from blood sugar to a full blood count or a sample of tissue to test for cancer.
While urine can generally be tested in the surgery, blood and other specimens are usually sent away for testing at a laboratory. Most results come back within 48 hours unless a very rare test is needed which has to go to a specialist lab further away when it might take a little longer.
We will contact you for any urgent results.
You can also access your test results through the patient portal www.Health365.co.nz If you have not registered for this please ring us or talk to reception next time you come in.
If you wish to speak to a nurse about your results, please ring us when we are open.
