The doctor on duty will review your results and arrange for any further tests required.  Any blood tests or medications required during your visit will be performed by a nurse. 

Usually patients will be assessed, treated and discharged during their visit. Treatment summaries and any follow up advice or treatment are shared with your GP following your visit.
