TESTS AND RESULTS

Since our telephones are very busy in the early morning, we ask you to telephone for test results (eg blood, urine, x-ray) after 11.00 am. To ensure confidentiality, we only release results to the patient, unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.

DVLA reports

The DVLA can't ask a GP if a patient is“fit to drive” under Section 88 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. GPs are not qualified and may not be indemnified to advise patients whether they are fit to drive. In normal circumstances factual reports are sent to DVLA so that their expert medical advisers can decide upon fitness.
