Getting your test results
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
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 SystmOnline account
- by phoning us on 01283 216091 between 10:30am-1pm or after 2:30pm-5pm
The receptionist will be able to tell you if the results are normal. If the results are abnormal the receptionist will advise you according to a doctor’s instructions.
The advice might be to:
- Book another appointment
- Receive some treatment
- Have another test performed
An abnormal result is not necessarily anything to worry about.
To ensure confidentiality, we only release results to the patient (or parent/guardian of young children), unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.
Blood tests
Blood tests are usually performed by our health care assistants and appointments need to be booked in advance. Blood tests usually need to be taken in the morning so that the blood sample can be sent to the hospital pathology laboratory the same day.
These are usually available to book during the mornings from 8am.
