Test Results
How do I Obtain Test Results?
If you have to have blood, urine or other investigations undertaken, you may telephone the surgery for the test results, but please remember:- Results will only be given to the specific patient to whom they apply.
In the interests of confidentiality please be prepared to identify yourself. Please do not telephone for results of friend, spouse or relatives without prior arrangement, (written consent will be required). Checking results is time consuming and requests should be made between 11.00 and 12.00am as well as 2.00 - 3.00pm. You will need to know the specific test results that you require. Some tests take longer than others to process. If you have had several tests then the receptionist may not necessarily know whether all the results are back and may have to check with the doctor.
Receptionists do not have medical knowledge. They are instructed only to tell you whether the tests normal. If any test is abnormal or you require further interpretation then please refer to your doctor.
