Wouldn't be surprised if the gp practice software can connect to the lab server and also had txt email facilities.

Long gone are days of faxed results and signing off bits of paper (thank god)

A routine blood count can be done in 20 minutes if put at the front of the queue, electrolytes bit longer and full clotting screen in under an hour.

Group and screen for blood type and exclude antibodies can be 20 minutes.

Bedside haemoglobin and blood sugars can be done in 10s.

ICU portable testers can do electrolytes glucose Hb and blood gases in under 5 minutes in emergency. But if time allows they use normal hospital labs.
