It is the responsibility of the patient to ensure they get the result of any test. Patients should telephone the reception staff who have access to information from the doctors about test results. This service will be available after 10am in the morning. We will not be able to answer questions relating to test results or hospital letters until after this time in the morning.
Blood tests, urine tests and swabs are usually available within five to six days, smear tests can take about six weeks. Please do not make an appointment to discuss results unless you are requested to do so.
Hospital letters usually take three weeks to come, please always check that the letter is back before making an appointment with a doctor to discuss your hospital visit.
