Test Results

If you have a blood test, urine test, X-ray, or any other test arranged by your doctor, please contact the surgery to find out the result.

Unfortunately, as we arrange several thousand tests each year, we are NOT able to contact you and we regard it as your responsibility to enquire.

Please call at reception or phone the surgery office (01488) 682507 (Press 2) after 2.30pm, when the office is less busy.

Some results are better discussed or need clarification and you may be asked to see the doctor. This does not imply that there is a problem.
