Getting your test results
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 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. We will not contact patients if test results are normal unless you request this at the appointment.
It is your responsibility to check your results and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if your are advised to do so.
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account
- in your account Patient Access Account
Radiology (x-rays and scan) results
Hospital requested scan results go back to the requesting hospital clinician. Please contact the hospital team for the results.
Scans requested by the GP will have the report sent back to the requesting GP. The reporting time can take several weeks. We will usually contact you if the GP requests to discuss the outcome of the scan report. Please make sure you have updated your contact details.
