Hospital Results and correspondence
If you have been sent for a test (bloods, scans, x-rays etc) by a consultant or hospital department you will be required to contact the requesting clinician or department for your results, the practice will not be able to give these results to you. The hospital will send the results to the practice once they have reviewed them to ensure your medical records are up to date however this will take some time.
If you are waiting for results please contact the requesting department to chase these up. If you don’t have their direct number you can contact the switchboard on 01253 300000 and they can put you through.
Any complaints or concerns about the treatment you receive from the hospital please direct these to PALS by calling them on 01253 955589 or email them on bfwh.patientrelations@nhs.net and they can look into your query.
