Test Results
How and when to obtain test results from the surgery
Getting your test results
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- in your online services account
- phone on 01865 429993 after 1pm.
The practice has a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection and we will only release test results to the person to whom they relate unless that person has given prior permission for the release of this data or they are not capable of understanding the results.
Blood Tests
A doctor from the surgery or hospital must have authorised your blood test before your blood test appointment.
If you arrive at your blood test appointment without an authorised blood test request on the system, you will unfortunately be turned away.
How to Book
Questions about your results
Get in touch with the surgery if you want to talk to someone about your results.
Investigation Requests from External Providers
- Tests Done by Others: If you had a test done by someone who is not a clinician from our practice (like a private provider or a service abroad), please contact the person who ordered the test for its interpretation and any further action. It is their responsibility to manage your care based on that test.
- Sharing Test Results with Us: If you bring test results from another provider to your appointment with us, we will consider them as part of your assessment if we think they are relevant. However, if it is a test we are unfamiliar with or would not have recommended, we may ask you to go back to the person who ordered it for further advice.
- NHS Guidelines on Tests: NHS guidelines advise us not to order tests that we believe are unnecessary or to repeat tests that have already been done. Therefore, we usually cannot repeat tests on the NHS that were arranged privately. If we find those private test results important, we may use them in your care, but it is your responsibility to provide us with the complete results.
- Do Not Send Test Results for Interpretation: Please do not send us test results expecting a response or interpretation. If you feel unwell and need support, call our practice to discuss booking an appointment.
