Test results

Specimens

If you are asked to hand in a specimen, please ensure that we receive it by 11:00am (in the correct container, obtained from the surgery, marked with name, date of birth and date of sample. A form is available for this, please ask at Reception.).

Similarly, if you need a blood test please make a morning appointment.

Results

Please remember it is your responsibility to ring the surgery for your results. Please remember the following points:

1. Results will only be given to the specific patient to whom they apply.  In the interest of confidentiality please be prepared to identify yourself.
2. Checking results can be time consuming so you may be asked to call back at another time on some occasions.
3. Please do not expect the reception staff to have any medical knowledge.  They are instructed only to tell you if your test is normal.  If the test is abnormal or you require further discussion or interpretation then please refer to your Doctor.
