Test Results

All patients’ records are confidential and in order to maintain this confidentiality, laboratory and X-ray results will only be discussed with the patient themselves (or the parent of the patient, if the patient is under the age of 16 years old) when satisfactory identification has been established by the receptionist.

Routinely, patients are contacted by the practice when further action is required on receipt of test results. However, if you are ringing for results, please be aware that  our reception staff are not medically qualified to interpret results. They will only be able to tell you whether or not the results are back from the laboratory and whether or not the doctor has asked to see you again regarding them, or requested any further action.

Test results can take a while to come back. Please see the wait times below:
