Understanding your blood test results

Blood samples taken at Docmed are processed by our partner laboratory, and results come back to your doctor, usually within two to three working days.

Reading the ranges

Each result is printed beside a reference range. A value slightly outside it is common and does not always mean something is wrong: ranges are set so that a small share of healthy people fall outside them. Your doctor reads the whole picture, not a single number.

How we contact you

If a result needs action, your doctor will call you. Normal results are sent by secure message or letter. If you have not heard from us within a week, call reception and we will check.
