Test results can sometimes take a while to become available. Please telephone the surgery after 12.00 if you want to ask about a result. The phones are less busy at this time and a receptionist should be able to help you with your enquiry.

Please be patient with the receptionists when you call. They are not medically qualified and can only pass on whether your doctor has said the result is normal.

We will always contact you as soon as we receive your results if there is any action or treatment required.

We will often ask people to arrange a telephone consultation if we feel the result needs explanation, asking you to call does NOT mean there is anything seriously wrong. Alternatively the Doctor may write to you about your results.
