Test Results

We do NOT routinely contact patients whose test results are normal.

For enquiries about results, please ring after 2.00pm  when the phone lines are less busy and your doctor will have had time to review the results.

The Receptionists will give you the doctor or Nurse’s message.

You may be asked to speak to a doctor for further clarification about your result.

Non NHS Services

There are certain services that doctors provide which do not come under the NHS jurisdiction and therefore doctors provide these privately for a charge. 

These are only available to patients registered with Queen Square Medical Practice.  

Services may include provision of letters, insurance reports, medical examinations, certificates, etc.  The doctor’s clinical NHS work must take priority and in light of this, we would advise patients to give the doctor one week to ten days to complete any reports etc. Our charges can be found below:

Assessing Your Risk of Diabetes

There is a very easy to use website that allows you to get an idea of your risk of having diabetes. This website can be found at www.diabetes.org.uk/RiskScore if your risk is raised, then you are advised to see one of our Health Care Assistants to have blood tests to check your long term blood sugar level. This will tell us for certain whether you do have diabetes or not. It would be worthwhile if you are overweight or there is a family history of diabetes.
