Secondary Care Blood Tests Posted or Updated on 23 Jul 2025

Most services that are provided by GP practices are carried out under a national general medical services (GMS) contract. This sets out the core services that every GP practice has to provide to its registered patients.

However, some specific services have been set up based on the needs of the local population that are outside of this contract. These are agreed locally rather than nationally and known as Locally Commissioned Services.

The Secondary Care Blood testing is not the one of the commisioned services which means that we are currently unable to offer any  blood tests requested by secondary care or any other healthcare professional outside of the GP Practice until further notice.
