If you're feeling unwell or just want peace of mind, getting a blood test can be one of the quickest ways to find out what’s going on with your health. But one question we often hear is: "How Quickly Can You Get Results?" In this blog, we'll walk you through the timeline, what to expect, and how to get fast, accurate results in Newcastle.

Why Get a Private Blood Test in Newcastle?

There are many reasons why people choose to book private blood tests in Newcastle instead of going through the NHS:

  • Faster appointments – same-day or next-day bookings
  • Quicker results – some tests return results in just 24 hours
  • Comprehensive options – from general health screens to hormone or vitamin panels
  • Peace of mind – no long waits, no chasing results

At Private Medical Clinic, we offer a wide range of blood tests in Newcastle, whether you're checking cholesterol, hormone levels, thyroid function, or something more specific.

How Quickly Will Doctor Call With Blood Test Results in Newcastle?

The speed of your results depends on the type of blood test you’ve had, but here’s a general guide for our Newcastle clinic:

FAQs

How quickly will the doctor call with blood test results in Newcastle?

Most results are available within 24 to 72 hours. Your doctor will contact you by phone or email as soon as your results are in. Urgent cases are always prioritised.

Can I get same-day blood test results in Newcastle?

Yes, some tests like Full Blood Count (FBC) and CRP can be processed the same day, especially if you book a morning appointment.

Are private blood tests more accurate?

Private tests are processed by accredited labs just like NHS tests. The main difference is speed, convenience, and the ability to choose specific tests.

Can I get a blood test without seeing a GP?

Some basic screening panels can be booked without a GP consultation, but for most tests, we recommend a GP appointment so we can tailor the right test for your needs.
