Please allow 7 working days for test results to come back (smear tests usually take about 4 to 5 weeks).
Please telephone 0121 526 2233 after 1.00pm to obtain details of your test results (e.g. blood, urine, x-ray), or visit the Practice. Alternatively if you have signed up to the online facility you will be able to access your results without calling the surgery.
Access results from a recent test online:
We will, of course, make every effort to contact you should your returned result need urgent action. However, it is your responsibility in all cases to find out the result of your test.
The doctors check the results before our Reception Staff are able to give any information to you. Our Reception Staff will only be able to state that the result is normal or that you will have to see the doctor.
Please do not expect our Reception Staff to relay any other information regarding the test results.
If the doctor needs to speak to your personally, our Reception Staff will suggest the best possible time to ring, so as to avoid interruptions during the surgeries, which is upsetting for both the doctors and our patients.
We will only give your test results to you
Test results will only be given to the patient direct and not to relatives or friends, unless alternative arrangements have been agreed in writing. This is for confidentiality and security purposes.
