Conditions I see

Abnormal blood test results

Being told a blood result is "abnormal" can be unsettling, but most changes in a blood count have a clear and manageable explanation.

Questions families often ask

If your question isn't here, the practice team is happy to help. Get in touch with the practice.

Do I need a GP letter to see you?

Many patients come to me with a letter from their GP, and it is always helpful to see one. Whether you need a referral can depend on how you are paying, as some insurers ask for one. The simplest thing is to contact the practice, and the team will advise you on your situation.

Should I be worried about my result?

It is completely natural to feel anxious. Most abnormal blood counts turn out to have a common cause that is harmless or straightforward to treat. Being referred simply means someone wants an expert to take a careful look, and that is exactly what I will do with you.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Please bring copies of your recent blood results and any older ones you have, as seeing how they have changed over time is very useful. A list of your medicines and supplements, and any referral letter, will also help. You are very welcome to bring a family member with you.

Will I need more tests?

Sometimes a repeat blood test or a few extra blood tests are all that is needed. Occasionally a bone marrow test helps to give a definite answer. I will always explain why a test is recommended and what it involves before anything is arranged, so you can decide together with me. You can find every appointment and test on my haematology services page.
