If you had any pathology sample taken (blood, urine, swabs etc.) results are normally sent back to the practice within 2 weeks. If you have been sent for any other investigations e.g. x-rays, scans etc, results can take between 2-6 weeks dependant on demand at the hospital you attended for the investigation.
Please be aware that only requests sent by the GP will be received back at the practice If you are under the care of a consultant and they have requested investigations, the results will go back to the requesting Consultant and you will need to contact the department to obtain results.
If you would like to enquire about your test results, please contact the practice between 11:00am and 3:00pm, and select Option 3 when prompted.
Alternatively, you can view your results online through your online account.
Please note:
-
We will contact you if a clinician needs to pass on any specific messages about your results.
-
If your results are normal, you will not be contacted, due to high demand on our services.
-
Reception can only share results once they have been reviewed by a clinician. This process may take up to 1 week, or longer, depending on the type of test and hospital demand.
