Getting your test results
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
Please call after 12.00 to enquire about your test results as our reception staff will have more time to deal with your request at this time.
Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the patient directly unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
When you are requested to take a test, your GP or nurse will tell you when you can expect the results to be available. You may receive some test results by SMS text, if the doctor feels that is appropriate. For those patients with access to the NHS App or Online Access to your records, you will also be able to view some test results online, once they have been checked by the doctor.
It is your responsibility to check your results and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if you are advised to do so.
