Cannot get/find my blood test result (NHS)

[ABCD210506]

Hi ! Second post of the day.

Just wondering, if anyone had issues in getting their blood test results ? I know it is in the system since GPs I came can see them but I cannot find it and have emailed the UHS system. They told me they couldn’t find them either.

From what you say you have online access to GP record but can’t view your blood test results?

If hospital specialist arrange blood test then GP may not have direct access to hospital held records but you can approach the department secretary (endocrinology) who should be able to send you printed copies. If there’s any obstruction there are other ways to request copies of hospital records. They usually have a dedicated department for records (see website) and a form required with ID.

Initially when online access to GP record is set up a basic access is granted. You can arrange full access to historical record which grants access to notes & letters. If specialist writes to GP with results for example you would then have a copy but the often don’t include test ranges.

You really need copies of original lab test with ranges (don’t accept verbal or hand scribbled notes insist on a printed copy with ranges which vary between labs so essential). Once the records have been reviewed by doctor you are legally entitled to them.

Yes, I can see previous blood test results. Including the thyroid ones that was ordered by the Endo. Just the last two tests are the ones that I cannot see at all.

I will check !

I’ve had no luck getting results online with GP, but if my bloods were tested at the local hospital I can see them on the site Patients know Best .
