Test results

Please do not attend reception to ask for test results.

Please telephone the surgery after 14:00 for all test results. Allow one week before contacting the surgery about the results of routine tests and X-rays. Letters and results from a Consultant can often take two weeks. Smear results can take much longer and are posted to you.

Non-urgent advice: Please Note

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

When you take your test you will be told how long it will be before the results are returned to the practice.

It is your responsibility to check your results and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if you are advised to do so.

Request Test Results

If you would like to request some test results to be printed. Please contact the surgery to fill out an application for access to your medical records which is a short form and hand it back in to the surgery. We require to see a form of ID ( a driving licence or passport) and a proof of your current address ( a bank statement, credit card statement or a utility bill) and proof of Parental Responsibility if accessing a child’s medical record.

This request can take up to 28 days to be processed depending on what is being requested. And a member of the team will be in contact with you when it is ready to be collected.
