How do I obtain test results?

Please ring after 2pm for test results.
Your results cannot be given to another person due to confidentiality reasons, unless you have already requested this and it is recorded in your notes. 01270 780210.

Most tests take approximately 2 working days to return, with specialised tests taking longer. X ray and scan results are usually received by the practice 7-10 days after the test was performed. It is your responsibility to telephone for results, as we process large numbers of tests each day and are unable to telephone individual results.

The doctor will leave a brief message with your test result such as “normal”, “repeat in six months”, “see the doctor” etc. which the Receptionist will convey to you when you telephone. In the interests of safety and confidentiality the Receptionist does not have access to more detailed or technical interpretation of your tests.
