Test results

Test results can take up to 7 -10 days to come back from the lab. Since our telephones are very busy in the early morning, we ask you to telephone for test results (eg blood, urine, x-ray) after 2.00pm each day, except Fridays.

To ensure confidentiality, we will only release results to the patient, unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing.

The doctor will normally contact the patient directly if there is something to discuss. However we would remind patients that it is their responsibility to follow-up any results themselves.
