Test Results

Getting your test results

If you have recently had any tests (blood tests, x-rays, etc), it would be helpful if you could ring in the afternoon for test results, as reception is less busy in the afternoon and the GP on duty will have time to look at the results.

Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:

• in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
• in your online services account
• phone on 01253 229520 selecting option 2 after 2pm on the day directed when your results should be available.

Questions about your results

Get in touch with the surgery if you want to talk to someone about your results.

Thinking about seeing a private GP?

If you choose a private GP you should not need to come back to the NHS GP for diagnostic tests or any referrals to NHS Services. These can be requested by the private GP directly.
