Can anyone explain my blood test results for iron and bruising?

Do you understand medical terms? If yes can you translate this for me

I had a blood test to see if I have low iron due to random unexplained bruising

No one has contacted me yet, but I’ve got the results on the NHS app but I don’t understand.

Im assuming the word satisfactory means my iron is ok

Perhaps you should remove the photo containing the name of the staff member.
You have only got one test result there. There will be more to come.
CRP is a test for inflammation. The actual result isn't there. Satisfactory probably just means not abnormal.
IME the full results are not always published untill they have been seen by a clinician.

Oh, just seen the level right at the top of the first page.

Satisfactory means the result was generally normal and not concerning. It doesn’t show the actual CRP value only their interpretation. This result doesn’t show iron levels so assuming your still waiting on those results

Edit out the professional’s name, that’s not fair at all.

Then wait for a doctor to discuss the results. If it’s anything concerning they will phone you pretty quickly IME.
