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)
- contact us
- by phoning us on 01452 522695 and we will tell you what the results are
Please phone for your results approximately 1 week after the tests were taken, we cannot phone all our patients to give results.
The reception is only a message provider. They are not clinically trained to interpret results so please do not be offended when you are given a basic response.
Should you wish to discuss the result with your usual Dr please either make an appointment or arrange to speak to them on the phone.
If you still have symptoms please do not be afraid to say so as it may be further tests are required or investigations. Book another appointment with your usual doctor.
What to do if you have been asked to fast
What to do if your doctor has asked you to have a fasting blood test?
- Fasting glucose fast for 12 hours
- Fasting = no food, no fluids except water
- Fasting lipids fast for 14 hours
Do drink water to stay hydrated especially in the morning.
