Test Results

We appreciate that you will be anxious to get the results of any tests as soon as possible. All results arrive at the surgery in the morning and are reviewed by the doctor after the morning surgery.

Please telephone in the afternoon for your results.
“Normal” test results are given over the phone. Abnormal test results are not routinely given over the phone as you may need to discuss this with the doctor or practice nurse. You may also need further follow up care/treatment. You may be offered an appointment for this.

Blood test results take two working days to come back to the surgery, X-rays take ten days and smear tests take 4-6 weeks.
