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.
We ask that our patients follow up their test results. We will only contact you if the result requires urgent attention.
There are many ways you can follow up on your results:
- Test results can be accessed 24/7 via your online NHS account. Your test results will be available here, along with the recommended action from your GP if appropriate. Please contact the surgery if you have issues viewing your results.
- You can request your results via our online consultation service. A member of the team will respond to you will details and whether any follow up action is required.
- For those who do not have access to the internet then please contact the surgery and a member of team will be able to help you access your results.
Our reception staff are not qualified to comment on results. Results are commented on by a clinician as to whether any further action is required. If you require further follow up with a clinician then you will be asked to book an appointment.
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.
