Test results

Getting your test results

If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.

Please give at least 3 working days before requesting test results, this will allow the clinician to view the result and to comment on the result

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 SystmOnline account
  • phone or visit us after 1pm and we will tell you what the results are
Our reception staff can only give the clinicians comment on any result, if you require further information please book a telephone appointment with the appropriate clinician.

Please note that we do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect we will only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior permission for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.

Hospital Tests

Please note any tests that are ordered by a hospital consultant such as MRI – these results do not return routinely to the practice but to the consultant ordering them.

It is the consultant’s responsibility to act on the results. If you have not received the results please contact the consultant’s secretary.
