I am not sure how long blood test results take to get back to doctor. Is it normal to wait for the practice to ring you or is it normal to ring the practice after a period of time?If you are worried about your blood results ring and ask for a call back from the practice nurse

The norm for my doctor is if I want the results I ring and/or leave a message and I get a call back that day. Anytime there is something amiss they have rang me promptly.I am not sure how long blood test results take to get back to doctor.

Is it easy to change doctors when you have a GP card? Can I have my medical records for the past 50 years transferred to my new doctor?
He prescribed an ointment for dermatitis in my ear and when I went to get the prescription renewed he said that you can't put that stuff in your ear.
Yes, if you are the holder of a card issued by the HSE under a contract with the GP, you can make an FOI request to the HSE. It's free to make an FOI request and you can't be charged for the copies. Alternatively, you can make a Subject Access Request under the GDPR direct to the GP. Again, no charges and he is obliged to respond within 1 month. Probably, the GP will send them to you rather than a third party.Can I have my medical records for the past 50 years transferred to my new doctor?

Of course, but it depends on the GP.There is a system that the G.P.s use where the paperwork can be transferred automatically so is much more efficient than transferring manually. In my daughter's case the system did not work so they did have to print them off but I understand that this is unusual. Obviously that would be preferable to manually copying records for 50 years
