Test Results
An early clear understanding of your results and what they mean for you is very important.
When Test Results are Available
We will attempt to call you as soon as your result is available - this usually takes around a week but in rare cases may be longer.
We will call every number we have listed for you - so please ensure you update your phone numbers when you are back at Reception before leaving today.
We are unable to email results without encryption, but if for some reason we cannot get you on the phone, we can advise via email that your results are available and request that you call to discuss.
Written Test Results
We can provide you with written copies of your results at any time - these can be given to you when you come in for stitches, or they can be mailed or faxed to you.
Abnormal Test Results
On some occasions (such as biopsies or rare unexpected results) further surgery may be required, and it is almost always desirable this is done without delay.
Email Results
When requested, we can email test results using end to end encryption to personal email accounts.
Results Not Received
If for some reason you have not received a call about your results after a week - please call our practice as it’s important you get your results in a timely manner.
Results Sent to Your Doctor
You can also nominate another Doctor for your results to be sent to (such requests need to be in writing from you - scanned copies are acceptable)
If you want us to send your results to another doctor please advise writing the following:

- Your Full Name,
- Your date of birth,
