Getting your test results
The practice’s GPs receive a very high number of test results and reports daily. Each of these must be reviewed by them and interpreted. GPs undertake this in between clinics and in the evenings/weekends. Please rest assured that you will be contacted by the practice should the result give cause for concern or if any further action is required.
The practice will not routinely contact patients to advise them of results where they are normal or satisfactory and no further action is required.
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 after 11:30am on 01379 853217 and we will tell you what the results are
Reception staff are not able to discuss results in detail as they are not clinically trained but will be happy to advise you of the GP comment once the results has been reviewed.
We do have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. In this respect we will only give out results to the person they relate to unless that person has given prior formal permission for their release.
