Getting your test results
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
If the doctor or nurse asked you to make an appointment or call them for the results of a test, please make sure you do so.
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 Patient Access account
- by phoning us on 0239 246 6216 and we will tell you what the results are
- as a text message, if you have consented and it is applicable
Our receptionists cannot give you a specific result or advice, they can only give you a doctors comments about a result. The comment will either be to come in (i.e to make an appointment), normal no further action required or a comment such as review in three, six or twelve months.
Blood tests
Everybody has blood test results which are slightly abnormal. This does not mean there is anything wrong. We do not wish people to make appointments to see the doctor about such results as we do not have the capacity to do this. We would appreciate it if you could ask us about the result at your next appointment but that if you have not needed to see a doctor or nurse within three, six or twelve months that you call your doctor at that point in time.
Questions about your results
If you want to talk to someone about your results, fill out a test results request form and someone will be in touch.
