Test Results
Getting your test results
All patients are encouraged to access their results via NHS online services such as the NHS app.
Please check your online account for the result at least one week after the test. You will also be able to view any comments your doctor may have left when reviewing the result.
If the result is abnormal or we need to communicate anything in relation to the result, we will contact you as usual.
Possible result outcomes
Normal - no action or follow up required
- We will not contact you.
Please log in to your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App) to access further information on the result.
Abnormal
- A clinician will inform you of the result.
This may be by text message, a phone call, or we may ask you to book an appointment for further discussion.
You will be able to access the result through your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App) after the clinician has communicated the result.
