Test Results

Getting your test results

Test results are provided to the clinician who arranged them, so if your GP requested an x-ray or blood test then the result will come back to them, but if the request came from a hospital consultant then the results will be sent to them even if the blood sample was taken in the practice.

Routine test results can take up to 1 week to be received in the Practice and reviewed. We will advise you if a test will take longer.  If we need to speak to you about your results we will contact you and invite you to make an appointment to discuss them.

We do not contact patients where test results are normal but you can access your results online:

• in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
• in your online services account
• We have a dedicated phone line for test results open between 2pm to 5pm Monday to Friday on 01869 362922 

Cervical smear tests

Women who have had a cervical smear test will receive a letter with their result direct from the NHS, and not the Practice, usually  within 2 weeks.
