We keep all shared information confidential and secure. Our Health Care Navigators provide exceptional service and are highly trained professionals. Please cooperate with them to receive assistance.

Test Results
Results Of Tests And Investigations
We will only contact you if your test results are abnormal and require treatment or further investigation. If your results are normal, you will not be reached. You may call us to inquire about your test results at the end of the surgery sessions. Please note that the patient will only be given adult test results unless an exceptional circumstance arises.
Blood Tests
A blood test is when a blood sample is taken for laboratory testing. Blood tests have many uses and are among the most common medical tests. For example, a blood test can be used to:
- assess your general state of health
- confirm the presence of a bacterial or viral infection
- see how well specific organs, such as the liver and kidneys, are functioning
When you go for a blood test, a phlebotomist will usually take a blood sample from a blood vessel in your arm. The most common places for a sample are the inside of your elbow or wrist, where your veins are relatively close to the surface. If you’re a child, the blood sample will be taken from the back of your hand after numbing it with a special cream.
You can learn more about blood tests, their purpose and how they are performed on the NHS Choices website.
Blood tests and ECGs are done during the surgery or at City Hospital.
X-Rays
X-rays are commonly used for diagnostic purposes to examine the body’s internal structures. They are particularly effective in detecting bone fractures and help identify soft tissue problems like pneumonia or breast cancer.
During an X-ray, the patient is asked to lie on a table or stand against a surface to position the X-ray area between the tube and the photographic plate.
A radiographer, a healthcare professional specialising in imaging technology, including X-rays and ultrasound scanners, usually performs this procedure.
You can visit the NHS Choices website to learn more about X-ray tests, their purpose, their performance, and the potential risks involved.
Non-NHS Services - Not Provided
Please note that Broadway Health Centre does not currently offer non-NHS services. We are committed to providing high-quality, NHS-funded healthcare services to our community. Please contact our reception for assistance if you have any questions or require information about our services.
GP Earnings
All GP practices are required to declare the mean earnings (e.g. average pay) for GPs working to deliver NHS services to patients at each practice.
However it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice, and should not be used to form any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparison with any other practice. The average pay for GPs working in the Broadway Health Centre in the last financial year was £41,088 before tax and National Insurance.
This is for 1 full time GP and 7 locum GPs who worked in the practice for more than six months.
GP Extended Hours
Urban Health Primary Care Network (UHPCN) is launching the Improved Access Scheme (IAS) to provide patients with more flexible GP appointment hours across its member practices. Under the IAS, GP appointments will be available during extended hours, including evenings and weekends.
