Test results

Getting your test results

Please allow 5 days for the results of blood tests / 2 weeks for the results of x-rays before you ring the Surgery.

If you have bloods / scans taken from the hospital, or a private phlebotomist you must ring them directly.

All test results are assessed by a doctor. When you ring in, our reception team will confirm whether the result has arrived at the surgery and tell you if you need an appointment with a doctor or nurse.

By law, in order to protect your confidentiality, we can only give results to the patient themselves and not to family members unless consent is provided.

Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can:

  • View them in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
  • phone or visit us between after 10am and we will tell you what the results are
