Blood test results –

The laboratory at Leeds Teaching Hospitals trust (LTHT), which processes & reports on all the bloods tests taken across Leeds, had a system upgrade in early December 2024.

Due to problems with this upgrade:

Some blood test results have been delayed in being sent back to the practice
Some blood test results were sent to us in an incorrect format: so will take us longer to review back in the practice
Some blood samples have been lost or have been discarded due to delays in processing which means they will have to be repeated

This has been a problem across Leeds with every GP practice having to do a lot of extra work, checking and so on. At Collingham Churchview and Thorner Surgery we are facing a significant extra workload caused by this issue which is entirely outside our control. Please be assured that we are working through the extra work steadily and we will be in touch with patients as and when necessary.

Our preferred way for patients to know that their test results are back / and are normal, is by checking on the NHS App. You can see all your test results and your recent medical notes in the NHS App. It is downloadable from app stores.

If you had a blood test taken here at the practice more than 4 weeks ago and there are no results showing on the NHS App, please let us know via our ‘Contact us Online’ option on our website – (please choose the ‘admin query’ option). If you are not able to access the NHS App, then please do give us a call to check.

West Yorkshire ICB, Leeds Local Medical Committee (which represents GPs) and Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust are working together to resolve the issues. However, Leeds General Practice feels this system upgrade has been poorly handled, resulting in a lot of extra work for practices at our busiest time of year.

Should you wish to convey your feelings to LTHT, you can contact the patient Advice liaison Service here. Tel 0113 2066261 or write to: Patient Experience Department Trust Headquarters, St James’ Hospital, Leeds, LS9 7TF

Thank you for your ongoing support

A Big Thank You - Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon Fundraiser

We want to send a big Thank You for all those who supported us in our fundraiser for the Leeds Marathon. We managed to raise over £1600 which is going to support the Rob Burrows centre for MND. The importance of this great charity has been given even more weight with the recent passing away of Rob Burrow who was a true local hero and legend. His legacy will give hope and support to people and their families who are affected by MND.
