Tests and Results
How and when to obtain test results from the surgery
Results
As we carry out hundreds of tests per week our team will only contact you, either by telephone or letter, only if a result is abnormal and you require further treatment or investigation. You will not be contacted if your result is normal.
If your test was requested by a hospital doctor/consultant, then we will not be able to provide those results and you should approach the hospital department directly.
You can easily see your test results:
- in the NHS App (View your test results - NHS)
- using SystmOnline: Using SystmOnline (A Guide for Patients)
If you wish to enquire about your test results please leave enough time for them to have been processed. Please call us on 01536 518 886 between 2 and 4pm to enquire as our reception staff will have more time to deal with your request then.
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.
