Important Update on Test Results

We wish to inform our patients about a significant incident and ongoing technical issues that have occurred at the laboratories of Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. These issues have impacted both the digital upload of and processing of test results to GP IT systems in Leeds and Bradford.

If you have had blood tests taken from the 3rd December 2024, you may have been impacted by this issue. We would encourage you to check the NHS App or your online records to see if the results you were expecting are available.

If you are concerned that any results are missing, please contact the practice, and we will liaise with the laboratories at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust on your behalf to resolve the issue.

We understand that this may cause frustration or concern, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused. This is outwith the practices control. If you have been affected and wish to escalate your concerns please contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) by email: patientexperience.leedsth@nhs.net, Tel: 0113 2066261 or post: Patient Experience Department Trust Headquarters St James’s Hospital, Leeds, LS9 7TF
