Test Results

On average please allow 5 working days for your test results to come back from the hospital unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Please note that X-ray results take a little longer, usually 7-10 days. You will then be advised whether you need to book a follow up appointment with the GP.

For your test results please telephone the surgery after 2pm.

Sometimes, we cannot always give full results over the phone. If the result is complicated, or if the doctor wants to see you about the result, we will offer you an appointment. We will only give results to the person who has had the test or a third party with your permission.
