Health Information following blood tests
Usually within 3-5 days of a patient's blood test, the blood test results are returned electronically to the practice. A doctor will review all the blood tests. Sometimes a doctor will use an assessment method to calculate a risk score, which measures a patient's risk of developing cardiovascular disease. If the risk score is high, the doctor will make a clinical decision and suggest that the patient starts taking medication. The doctor will add a note to your prescription that the pharmacist will print on the box of tablets you need to take. Please click on High Cholesterol link below. If you would like to discuss this further, please call and ask for a telephone appointment with Sarah.
