Test Results
How and when to obtain test results from the surgery
Getting your test results
When you attend for a test of any kind you will be told how long you should expect to wait for the results. Please bear this in mind and only call the surgery after sufficient time has elapsed.
Our reception staff are not qualified to comment on results therefore it is your responsibility to check them and make any necessary follow-up appointment with the doctor.
Please note that we do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect we will only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.
We will contact you only if a result is abnormal and you require treatment or further investigations. You will not be contacted if your result is normal.
We encourage you to use the NHS App to view your test results.
How to access your results
Alternatively, you can contact the Surgery after 3pm to enquire about your results. The administrative staff will give results to you or you may be asked to speak to the nurse or doctor.
Results will not be given to anyone other than the patient, or for children their parent or guardian, except in exceptional circumstances.
