Getting your test results
On average please allow 10 working days for your test results to come back from the lab at the hospital unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Please note that X-ray results, scans or other more specialised tests can take longer.
We are only able to give out results of tests that have been requested by the GP’s or other clinicians within High Street Surgery.
If the doctor wants to see you about the result, our reception team will call you to offer you an appointment.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- phone or visit us between 10am to 4pm and we will tell you what the results are
Questions about your results
If you want to talk to someone about your results, fill out our test results request form and someone will be in touch.
Hospital Results
If your hospital consultant has requested a test for you after you have been referred to them, they are required to inform you of the results and the next steps in your care. Please telephone your consultants secretary directly or wait until your follow up appointment where these results will be discussed with you. If the results are urgent then the hospital team will be in touch with you directly sooner.
Your consultant may want to arrange additional tests or treatment for you which our doctors will not be aware of, which is why these results are best coming from the doctor who arranged them
