Laboratory Results
The primary way of communicating laboratory results to local GP Practices is electronically. Authorised results are transmitted throughout the day which enables quick and efficient communication of results. A large proportion of Practices have opted out of receiving paper copies and we would encourage others to do so. If your Practice no longer wishes to receive paper copies of results please contact lcl_it_staff@rlbuht.nhs.uk for guidance. You can also view your patient's results via ICE if they have had tests carried out via a RLBUHT in-patient or out-patient episode.

In the event that results are not available electronically, you can contact the LCL Customer Care Team on 0151 706 5888. The LCL Customer Care Team is operational between the hours of 8:00 am - 8:00 pm Monday to Friday. Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays (with the exception of Christmas Day) 8:00am - 4:00 pm. Should you require results outside of these times, telephone 0151 706 2000 (hospital switchboard) and ask for the laboratory required. However, if you wish to make direct contact with the Laboratories please refer to the relevant contact page in the Laboratory Handbook.

Urgent specimens
When sending specimens for genuine urgent testing indicate on the request form which specific test(s) are required urgently. For Blood Sciences, urgent is defined as those tests which require analysis within one hour of receipt in the lab.

Use of Ice
