Getting your test results
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 Patient Access account
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- phone or visit us between 2pm to 4pm. If the results are abnormal then the reception team will action accordingly.
Questions about your results
If you want to talk to someone about your results, fill in an online form and someone will be in touch.
Why have I been asked to have a repeat test?
If a doctor asks you to have a repeat test it is usually because:
- The result was borderline or equivocal – so the doctor wants another sample to monitor the situation or to re-check
- The result is abnormal – and the doctor is unable to interpret the result without further tests so has asked you to come in for more test.
Please do not worry if the doctor has asked you for a repeat test, if there is a serious problem then the Doctor will speak or request to see you directly.
