Private GP Lincs, our doctors may advise you that you should have special tests so that we can investigate your health concerns.

Private GP Lincs can arrange tests at our clinics, including:

• Pathology - Blood tests
• Pathology - Microbiology tests, urine tests, faeces tests and swab tests
• Heart tests - Electrocardiography (ECG) and blood pressure checks
• Lung tests - Spirometry and Fractionated Exhaled Nitrous Oxide (FENO) tests for asthma and COPD

Private GP Lincs can arrange tests at local private hospitals, including:

• Heart tests - Echocardiography, ambulatory ECGs and cardiac imaging
• Radiology - X-rays, ultrasound, CT, and MRI

Pathology tests - Blood, urine, faeces, and swabs

Pathology tests are sent away by Private GP Lincs to Randox who perform the tests in their laboratory. Randox charge for performing these tests and Private GP Lincs will inform you how much the tests cost before taking blood, urine, faeces, or swab samples. If you wish to proceed with the recommended tests and subsequent analysis, you will be charged for this at reception once your consultation has concluded.

Pathology tests are usually analysed within 48 hours of the samples being taken, and the results returned to Private GP Lincs electronically where we will be in touch with you accordingly.

You are under no obligation to proceed with the recommended tests; however, if you choose not to, we are able to document the recommended advice to support your onward health journey.

Heart and Lung Tests

Heart and lung tests can be arranged at Private GP Lincs and will be performed by our nursing team, and then the results interpreted by our doctors.  We will charge you for the time it takes to perform these tests.  The fees for these tests are found on the fees page of our website.

Hospital tests - Radiology and heart tests

The private hospitals charge for these tests.  Before we refer you for the tests we can give you an indication of the cost of the tests.  We do not charge for making the referral for the tests.

Follow up

Should the results indicate to us the need for an urgent discussion, our on call GP will contact you. Else, our Clinical Concierge or Receptionist will be in touch to arrange a follow up appointment.

If you choose not to arrange a follow up appointment, we are able to write to you explaining the results so that you can seek advice elsewhere or arrange an appointment at a later date.
