While we try to contact you with abnormal results, we request that you do not assume that a result is normal if we do not contact you.

The surgery will contact you if there is a significant problem with your results, but please contact us for all results as the GP may have made some suggestions or advice based on your results even if there is not a significant problem.

Tests arranged by hospital specialists will be returned to the specialists who requested them (they are not usually copied to us at the surgery as a matter of course). You should ring the consultant’s secretary who will get the results sent to you.

The receptionists will be available to pass on instructions from the doctors about your results. Please allow 5 working days for routine blood, urine and stool tests. However, some results may take longer.

You will need to complete a Test Results Request form for information regarding the outcome of your test.

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.
