Test results

Getting your test results

If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.

When you take your test you will be told how long it will be before the results are returned to the practice. It is your responsibility to check your results and to make an appointment to discuss them with your doctor if you are advised to do so.

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
  • visit us between 10am to 4pm and we will tell you what the results are
  • phone us between 2pm and 5pm and we will tell you what the results are (our reception staff will have more time to deal with your request between these times)
  • Note that the practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
