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.

Healthwatch Norfolk | Preparing for later life in Norfolk

Healthwatch Norfolk is the independent voice for patients, service users and carers 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.

Healthwatch Norfolk is working with Norfolk County Council (NCC) to find out how people are getting ready for later life, and what support they might need to stay independent for as long as possible. We want to hear from people in Norfolk about what planning they’re already doing and how the Council could help them.

This survey is aimed at people aged 55 and over living in Norfolk, who are not receiving regular help from social care. That means you don’t have carers visit you at home to look after you on an ongoing basis, or live in a care home. Occasional help with transportation or attending a day centre, for example, doesn’t count as regular support.

We’d like to hear what you’re doing to prepare for getting older, and what help you would like to prepare better.
