Test Results
How and when to obtain test results from the surgery
Getting your test results
Important
We cannot provide test results for any tests requested by other clinicians, for example, hospital consultants. The results will always be returned to the requesting clinician.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- phone on 01923 673 060 after 2pm
It is important to note that the receptionist you speak to can only read the doctors comment verbatim. This means, if the result is normal, it might read ‘normal – no action’. If abnormal it might read, ‘abnormal – routine appointment with GP to discuss’. They cannot provide you with any further details regarding your test result.
The reception team are not clinically trained to read out the different blood levels and how that compares with previous numbers etc.
Questions about your results

Get in touch with the surgery if you want to talk to someone about your results.
