Update regarding pathology tests

You may have seen media reports relating to pathology tests (bloods, urine etc.) which GP practices carry out and are processed in labs at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.

Following an issue with an IT system upgrade, there were some delays to GP practices receiving the results for tests that were taken and sent to the labs between 29 July and 13 August.

All results have now been processed and are available in a format that practices can view.

You may find this unsettling if you had tests carried out around this time but please be assured that all urgent abnormal results have now been reported. Your practice will be in touch in the usual ways if they wish to discuss results with you further.

If your symptoms worsen or you are concerned, please follow the usual care routes by contacting the practice or use NHS 111. In an emergency call 999.

Use and experience of the NHS App among people 16 to 30 (Survey)

Healthwatch Norfolk is the independent voice for patients and service users in the county. We gather people’s views of health and social care services in Norfolk and make sure they are heard by the people in charge.

The NHS App is a free digital application developed by the NHS to give patients simple and secure access to a range of health services and information through their electronic devices.

Although the NHS App is proving popular with people, some age groups use the app more than others. Healthwatch Norfolk is currently working with NHS Norfolk and Waveney (NWICB) to understand what could be done to boost the uptake of the NHS app among 16 to 30 years old.

We would like to hear from both users and non-users of the NHS App and there is the chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher for those who complete the questionnaire!
