Getting your test results
If your test results show that you need more tests or treatment, we will contact you.
Once a doctor has reviewed your test results, you can view them:
- in your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- in your Patient Access account
- phone us on 01384 459044 or visit us after 1pm and we will tell you what the results are
On average please allow 2–3 working days for your test results to come back from the hospital unless your doctor has advised otherwise. Please note that X-ray results take a little longer, usually 12-14 days.
To protect patient confidentiality, test results can only be given to the patient unless consent has been provided for someone else to receive them.
Questions about your results
If you want to talk to someone about your results, fill out a test results request form and someone will be in touch.
