How soon are the results of drug and alcohol tests available?
Negative results are available the next working day, excluding weekends and bank holidays. Samples requiring further analysis may take a further seven working days. All positive laboratory findings are scrutinised by a doctor with specific training in this field. This is to ensure that an individual with legitimate medical need for a substance is not wrongly categorised as a drug abuser. This may involve the doctor interviewing the donor. Bupa Wellness includes this service for all results, though some providers may make an additional charge.
