Test Results

How and when to obtain test results from the surgery

Getting your test results

If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you by telephone, or by letter, only if a result is abnormal and you require treatment or further investigations.

You will not be contacted if your result is normal.

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

in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
in your online services account
phone: 01634 867982 after 2:30pm

Questions about your results

Get in touch with the surgery if you want to talk to someone about your results.

Pathology

If the doctor or nurse has asked you to provide a pathology sample e.g. urine, stool, sputum, these must be left at reception before 2:15pm, Monday to Friday (except Wednesday when the latest drop-off should be 10:30am).

Blood Tests

A blood test is often done to check your health, or to find out why you're having certain symptoms. It involves having a small amount of your blood taken for testing.
