Test Results

Specimens must be handed into reception before 12.30pm in order for it to be collected and processed by the pathology laboratory at the local hospital. Suitable containers can be obtained from the receptionist. These must have your name and date of birth on them.

If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you via phone or SMS.

We do not usually contact patients regarding normal results.

Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can get them:

• in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
• by phoning us after 2pm

Remember, if you have more than one blood test ordered the results may come back at different times.
