Test results

If your doctor organises a test for you, he will make it clear how to get your results. If you are asked to telephone for your result, please contact the secretary of the doctor you saw after 11am. In the event of an abnormal result which needs immediate action, your doctor will contact you directly. Please make sure that you inform the surgery as soon as possible if your telephone number changes, so we can get you if we need you. We can keep your mobile number on file as well as your home number.

In general, it takes 10-14 days to get an ultrasound or XRay result; most blood test, urine and swab results are available after 1 week.

Some patients have asked if we can send results to them by email. At the moment we do not, as we currently do not have a secure enough method of making this work. Patient confidentiality is our priority and we have not yet found a way of doing this that we are happy is safe. The situation is likely to change in the future, and we will let you know when it does.
