Understanding Blood Tests and Results Training (for non-clinical staff)
2026-11-06 09:30 - 12:30
The Understanding Blood Tests and Results training course is specifically created for roles such as GP receptionists, HCAs, GPAs, care coordinators, and other support staff. No clinical background is required.

This interactive course helps you build a working knowledge of blood tests and their results, giving you the confidence to support patients and colleagues more effectively in your practice.
By the end of this course, you will:

Understand why blood tests are done and what they look for
Recognise common test names and abbreviations
Feel more confident discussing test results with patients or clinical staff
Know when to escalate or seek clinical advice based on the results
Be a more informed and valuable part of your primary care team

What the Understanding Blood Tests and Results Training Course for Non-clinical staff covers

1. Why Blood Tests Matter in Primary Care
You’ll explore the key reasons why blood tests are ordered in general practice — from routine monitoring to investigating symptoms. Understand how they help in identifying, diagnosing, and managing a wide range of conditions like diabetes, anaemia, infections, and more.
2. Common Blood Tests Explained
We break down the most frequently requested blood tests in primary care, using clear, jargon-free language. Learn about:

Full Blood Count (FBC)
Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Kidney Function (U&Es)
HbA1c and cholesterol levels
Thyroid testing and more

3. Understanding Results and Therapeutic Ranges
You’ll learn what normal ranges look like, and what it might mean when values are too high or too low. This is essential knowledge for anyone supporting patients who call with queries about their blood test results.
4. Practical Scenarios and Real-World Examples
Using real-life case studies, we’ll walk through examples of typical results and patient journeys. This makes it easier to relate what you’ve learned to day-to-day work in a GP practice.

This is an interactive session and you will be expected to interact. Please ensure you have a camera and microphone available to attend the meeting.
