Wanna check blood tests


Saw urologist other day and he said oh you've got diabetes.  How can I check the NHS app to check my last blood tests?    Doctors too lazy to ever  contact you buy I'd like my.last round of blood tests interpreted

    I don't have that pathway on my NHS app. 

    I can do: 
    Home 
    Your Health 
    GP Health Record 
    Test Results

    My NHS App seems a little different -  I have to go to GP Health Record which gives me Test Results abd Documentation.

    What I do not see is Test Results from a different NHS to which I have been referred
    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill
  • As others have said - GP Health Record > Test Results.

    Yes fair enough to ask what he meant by that statement. Surgeries tend to contact for abnormal results - so contact them and ask. Maybe it is pre DM and urologist doesn't understand

    If hospitals do the blood tests in my experience they don't show in the app, only ones done by the drs. 

    If the test is done at hospital and are abnormal they tend (some days/weeks/months) later to write to you to tell you and send a copy of the letter to your GP surgery too (as elsien said)

    With luck someone will book a follow up appointment.

    You could phone the surgery and ask what they anticipate happening. In our practice (and others) you're unlikely to see the GP for a test result indicating diabetes. We have a couple of practice nurses, one who specialises in diabetes, and the other in cardio 'stuff' - so if you've got high BP as well as diabetes you might see her.

    I can see all of my medical history going back many years, including the result of any tests, on the NHS app.

    We have to contact the surgery to get blood test results.
