Tests and Results

Test results are also available over the telephone between 1pm and 3pm.

Results for blood and urine tests usually take 7 days, X-rays and ultrasounds up to 14 days (2 weeks) and cervical smears can take up to 4 weeks (1 month). Please allow sufficient time for the test results to get back to us from the laboratory before enquiring about your results.

You will be advised by the doctor or the nurse if any follow-up action needs to be taken. For all abnormal results, we will contact toy via SMS to book an appointment to see the GP. Therefore, please ensure that your most up to date telephone number is entered on our system.

If your test result was ordered by the hospital consultant, then enquiries should be directed to the hospital.

Please note: We have a strict policy regarding confidentiality and data protection. Hence why we only give out results to the patient themselves or someone they relate (following verbal or written consent). Results may be released to a third party if the patient has given prior permission.
