Test Results

How and when to obtain test results from the surgery.

Getting your test results

All patients are encouraged to access their results via NHS online services such as the NHS app.

Please check your online account for the result at least one week after the test. You will also be able to view any comments your doctor may have left when reviewing the result.

If the result is abnormal or we need to communicate anything in relation to the result, we will contact you as usual.

Possible result outcomes

Normal - no action or follow up required

  • We will not contact you.

You can log into the NHS App to view your result and any comments for the clinician.

This may be by text message, a phone call, or we may ask you to book an appointment for further discussion.

You will be able to access the result through the NHS app after the clinician has communicated the result.
