How do I get a blood test or receive a result?

 

Once a request for a blood test has been made by your GP (on a system called ICE), patients need to book a planned appointment .

Please book your appointment via the My Blood Test online service: www.merseycare.nhs.uk/mybloodtest

If you are unable to access the online booking system please make an appointment by calling 0151 285 4548 (Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 4.00pm). Please be aware that lines may be busy and you may have an extended wait.

Results

The easiest and quickest way to receive test results is through the NHS app. If you have the app and are unable to access you results please contact the practice and we can try and assist you. The practice will try and make contact with you if we receive test results which requires urgent attention. We may contact you by phone, text message or email. If we fail to contact you by these methods we will send out a letter. 

 

We will not normally contact you about normal test results or those which require no action. 

 

If you would like to confirm that your results are ok please give 7 days after after having your blood tests taken. Scan result can often take longer than 7 days.
