If you have any tests whilst visiting our practice, the clinician will usually tell you how to get your results.
- It can take up to 10 working days to get an ultrasound or x-ray result.
- Most blood tests, urine and swab results are available within 1 week.
- Smear tests usually take 3 weeks.
To ensure confidentiality and security, test results will only be given to the patient directly and not to relatives or friends, unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.
We will, of course, make every effort to contact you should your returned result need urgent action.
Unfortunately, our reception staff are unable to relay any information regarding the test results.
If the doctor needs to speak to you personally, our reception staff will help arrange this which may take the form of a telephone appointment.
