Practice Information:  Test results

There are a variety of tests that can be performed either at the surgery or on behalf of the surgery. There is a variety of timescales that these different tests will be reported on. Generally a result will be available within five days.

Your GP may contact you with the result if he/she needs to see you for further treatment. However, it is possible that the GP will leave a message or information for you when you ring in for your result or come in to the surgery.

If you wish to contact us for a result, please telephone reception during normal surgery hours. Our phone lines are usually quieter in the afternoons.

We only give results to the named patient (over 16) or a parent or guardian if the patient is under 16.

Please note that X-Ray results will take a minimum of two weeks but may take three weeks or more.

Some results such as Cervical Cytology are always notified by post. These are currently taking 6 to 8 weeks to report.
