Patients can call-in or telephone for their results
after 2pm each working day.
Patients are reminded that hospital reports and
results of tests can take up to 2 weeks to reach the
Practice. Some results can take longer and the
doctor or nurse will usually have advised you of
this at the time that the test was undertaken. If
the result is normal the receptionist will tell you
but if any more information is required she will
pass your call on to one of the GPs or she will
arrange for a GP to call you back.
If you wish to discuss the result with the doctor
then please make an appointment.
You will be advised in writing of any
normal/abnormal cervical smear results and of the
action that needs to be taken.
The practice has a strict policy regarding
confidentiality and data protection. We will only
release test results to the person to whom they
relate unless that person has given prior permission
for the release of the results or they are not
capable of understanding the results.
