Please note, we request that you do not assume that a result is normal if we do not contact you. The surgery will contact you if there is a significant problem with your results, but please contact us for all results as the GP may have made some suggestions or advice based on your results even if there is not a significant problem.
It is easier and quicker to view your test results via our online service. Simply log in and select an option.

This facility is only available if you are the patient, or parent /guardian of a child up 11 years of age. Due to confidentiality requirements you cannot make a request on behalf of another patient, unless you have been authorised to do so, and we hold a completed mandate from that patient.
If the test was arranged by your hospital consultant
If your test has been carried out at a Clinic or Hospital please call the Clinic or Hospital for the result, as we cannot action tests which have been requested by other Clinicians outwith the practice. If the consultant’s secretary or colleague inform you they will send the results to your GP, explain that you want the results from the specialist who arranged them who is in by far the best place to give appropriate advice.
