We are currently experiencing an outage with our phone system and we are not able to take incoming calls or make outgoing calls. We have reported this to our supplier and trying to fix this as soon as possible. Thursday 28.08.2025
The pathology department located at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, which tests blood and other samples from GP practices across Norfolk and Waveney, has been experiencing delays since 29th July 2025, due to a change in IT system. Systems are now fully up and running. However, disruption caused by the digital switch-over is leading to delayed reporting of some non-urgent results to GP practices.
If you are waiting for the results of a test you have had, you may have to wait longer than normal for this to be reported. Please bear this in mind if chasing routine samples but do contact the practice if you have an urgent or worsening problem.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by these delays. The pathology and IT teams are working hard to rectify the issues and deal with the backlog of testing.
The practice has a zero tolerance approach towards patients or visitors who are violent or abusive in any way towards our staff. We have the right to refuse treatment, remove them from our premises or report them to the police. Any person using, implying or threatening violence or abuse towards any member of staff will very likely be removed from our patient list.
