Test results

Getting your test results

On average, please allow 7 working days for your blood test results to come back from the hospital. Please note that X-ray and scan results take longer.

If you are bringing in a specimen, please make sure that it is here before 2pm. 

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

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

  • in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
  • in your Patient Access account
  • by phoning us on 01992 761185 and we will tell you what the results are
  • as a text message, if you have consented and it is applicable

Questions about your results

If you want to discuss your results or want further information beyond what reception can convey to you, the easiest way to do this is to use our online contact form to request a phone appointment and we can arrange this with one of our clinicians.
