Test results

Please note you are now able to register to view your test results online through Patient Access.  Please contact the reception team for further details.  If you have already signed up for Patient Access to request your repeat prescriptions and want to extend your access to include test results and aspects of your medical record please contact the reception team for further information.

The result of the cervical smear test will be sent to you by post by the hospital laboratory as soon as it becomes available. For the results of other investigations please ask the doctor or nurse when they are likely to be available and then look on your patient access. Obtaining these results is the responsibility of the patient. Please note. The results should include any extra details the doctor would like you to do such as repeat in 3/6 months times, see GP routinely, etc.

It would be appreciated if calls for results could be made after morning surgery for those unable to use patient access.

Please note that 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 signed authority for their release or if they are not capable of understanding them.
