Getting hospital blood results

[MichelleHarris]

Recently had to attend A&E twice and had lots of blood tests but was not advised of any results though I asked. Also because I am under an Endocrinologist for over two years my GP hasnt done any blood tests. I cant get my blood results from the Endocrinologist either despite many written requests. So the only results I get are from my private blood testing. I dont want to keep paying for the same tests. Has anyone else had any success getting theirs from hospitals or knows of how I could access my hospital blood results please?

I usually ask the department secretary for a printed copy of results. If the hospital department directly won’t help, or they are older results most hospital website list a hospital health record department or contact and you can email for forms. Go via switchboard if nothing on website.

I found it straightforward to send back an application form, ID and a witness signature via email.

In my case I did it to seek a single record from about 6 years ago. (4 years prior to my diagnosis) the results were emailed to me within a week. I was wondering what my levels were when I was “healthy” only to discover I was at hyper level then.

So then I requested my entire records in the similar manner. This being a stack of paper it was posted to me & took longer. Sadly no other thyroid test ever taken!

Thank you! Just rang and I have to make a subject access request so I’ve started that process.

They insist that all results are sent to the GP but they are never on my GP record. Just in the dark all the time. Like you I dont have trust anymore because of past neglect x
