Urine samples and stool samples are used to look for infection or blood. All samples are picked up from the surgery at approximately 11:30am and 2:30pm. If you are asked to bring a sample to the surgery please do so by 2pm. Please ensure that the top is screwed up tightly. Please do not detach the sample from the form or the plastic sample bag.
You can find out more about blood tests, their purpose and the way they are performed on the NHS website.
Results are available within 48 hours for most of the tests.
