Tests and Results

Test Results

You can see your results on the NHS App – please check your app first before calling us. Patient Services Coordinators (previously referred to as receptionists) can usually see the same results as showing on your app.  Blood and urine test results take about 1 week to come back from the laboratory.  Once we receive your results, the doctor reviews them and we will contact you if action is required.

If the doctor or nurse needs to see you to discuss the results of the test and any changes in treatment then reception will not be able to give you any information and will book you a telephone appointment with the doctor or nurse.

You can book an appointment to discuss test results via NHS App, these are not urgent, unless specified in the text received.  Or call us if we have asked you to or use the text self-booking link if we sent you one.

Please bear in mind when you are requesting your results that the receptionists are not clinicians and are not able to interpret the results for you. If you wish to discuss your results, you need to make a routine telephone appointment with the doctor.

Alternatively, if you have queries on your test results, you can submit an online consultation via this link

All patient records held on file or on the computer are confidential. In order to maintain confidentiality, results of blood tests and investigations will be given only to the patients themselves or to parents of children where appropriate.

Enquiries about tests ordered by the hospital should be directed to that hospital, not the practice.

If you do need to contact the surgery for test results please do so between 2pm and 5pm
