Not usually. It may not be anything to worry about though. I hope you can speak to your GP soon to get it sorted out. Good luck OP.

Well I had a phone consultation yesterday after a blood test last week to confirm that my bloods were okay and that I could continue my medication. So in my case, yes.

It depends why you had the tests. If it was because of an issue, they'll need to book an appointment to discuss alternative options

Mine has previously.

Sometimes it can be for a follow up, see how you're doing now. Or it may be to arrange different investigations. Or it may even be just to say the results are nornal, come back in x time if no imporivement

They used the phase to discuss the results of the blood tests. If normal would they need to discuss?
