We also would like to invite anyone between the age of 40-75 to book for an NHS Health Check. This would involve routine investigation and general examination. Part of this would be general healthy living advice. We offer these appointments every 5 years. Please ask the reception for an appointment.
Appointments can be made at Cheriton Bishop with our Phlebotomist on a Tuesday and Wednesday between 08:30am and 12:30pm or Health Care Assistant.
Appointments at our Branch Surgery Christow can be made with our Phlebotomist on Thursday's between 14:00 and 16:00 or our Health Care Assistant Mondays and Tuesdays between 8.30 and 11.30.
Please see our timetables for practice nurse and healthcare assistant clinic times.
Most blood tests need to be done in the morning so as to get to the lab the same day.
Results would be back in the surgery after 3 working days, some tests may take longer.
You can view your blood test results on the NHS App, OR call the surgery for your results.
