how do you find out

[tracyxx]

how can you find out all your blood results etc. they never really tell me anything when I have a outpatients

appointment?.

Ask for a copy. You have a right to a copy of any information that is about you. They might bluff and bluster, but they cannot refuse. Good luck xx

Thanks rod, always useful to have the policy bookmarked

Usually, the hospital send a copy to your GP. You could ask the surgery and tell them you wish to have a copy each time you have a blood test. They, if necessary, can ask the GP to confirm.

I am copied in on all letters that the hospital sends to my GP (different hospitals, different departments), so I assumed it was common practice in the UK. My GP prints off test results for me almost before I sit down these days, she got used to me asking for them, but there was never a problem in having them.

no it isn't I have never been able to look at anything.
