Test results
How long results take, how to see them, and when we will contact you.
Getting your results
When you have a test, you will be told roughly how long the result will take. Whether the practice contacts patients about normal results, and when it contacts them about results that need action.
Once a doctor has reviewed your results, you can see them:
- in your NHS account, through the NHS App or the NHS website
- in our online services
- Any other way the practice gives results
