No. Your doctor will write a request form for the lab to test your sample (blood, urine, faces, swab etc). Depending on the test you may need to collect the sample yourself e.g. urine or stool sample. If it is a blood test, you will need to go to phlebotomy at your local hospital to have a sample of blood collected. However, some nurses at your local surgery may do this. For biopsies of skin or complex procedures you may need to attend a specialised clinic to have the sample collected.

A prescription is only for medication. Not for a laboratory test.
