Most blood test results are transmitted to the surgery electronically, and are
available within 48 hours. Please give adequate time for the results to arrive
by post. This will usually be a week, but cervical smear test results can
take up to 2 months and will be sent direct to your home address as well.

All results are assessed by an appropriate professional who will leave clear
instructions for the patient. Please be aware the reception staff are not
allowed to advise patients regarding interpretation of results, as they are not
medically qualified.

Results will only be given to the patient concerned unless written permission
is given otherwise.

Type of Test Usual Time for Results:

• X-Ray –  Up to 2 weeks
• Smear – 2 weeks
• Blood tests –  2 to 7 days, depending on the test
• Urine – Within 7 days
