Project Description
Our practice nurse, Denise is a very experienced phlebotomist. Your doctor will discuss the appropriate tests with you for investigation and screening. Samples are delivered to St. Vincent’s University Hospital from Mon – Thurs (no Fri service) at lunchtime and results are sent back electronically,directly into your personal file. Many blood tests require you to be fasting overnight and this will usually be clarified for you by your doctor when they are ordered.
If you have had blood tests taken in the surgery and are awaiting results, you can telephone Denise on her designated phone between:
2:00 – 3:00pm Tuesday
& 12:00 – 1:00pm Thursday
TEL: 086-3958204
The Reception staff are unable to give results as a matter of policy. A message will be taken and either the Nurse or one of the doctors will phone you with the results.
Normal results may be texted via SMS messaging or our Practice Nurse may call you.
Abnormal results may be best followed up with a further appointment. Your doctor will either phone to discuss the result or, if more appropriate, get our reception staff to contact you to suggest making a further appointment.
