BLOOD TEST RESULTS
We have agreed with Shropdoc, the out-of-hours GP service, that blood results can be made available by the laboratory to the triage doctors when the doctor feels it necessary. This is in the interest of patient safety and will help the triage doctors to make safe decisions. If, for any reason, you would not like the triage doctor to be able to access your blood results out of hours then please let us know.
