Test Results

The practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. We will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.

Blood tests — please ring after 2:00pm 3-4 days after your blood was taken. Some tests and investigations may take longer.

Results are received electronically and viewed by the doctor who will add a comment to your records.  These comments can be relayed to you by a member of staff.  If the doctor needs to discuss the results with you the receptionist will advise you of this and will arrange an appointment or telephone consultation as appropriate. 

We deal with hundreds of results every day and to ensure that you need no further treatment we request that you always contact the Reception Team for your results.

Please do not assume that your results require no further action if you have not been contacted.
