There is no need to phone or make an appointment for your test results, unless your doctor has requested that you do. If so, please call between 13:00 and 15:00.
Doctors read all test results when they arrive at the surgery and will contact you if you require a follow up appointment.
In order to maintain confidentiality, results of investigations will only be given to the patient themselves or to the parents/guardians of minors, unless it has been agreed with the doctor that the results can be given to a third party.
Results are not able to be given out over the telephone. If needed, your doctor will contact you to arrange a follow-up appointment or to make recommendations.
If you receive a letter requesting you come in and discuss your results please do not be alarmed; it is a system we use to ensure certain results are discussed face to face. It may be that we need more information or need to alter medication.
