Surgery Results:- Please telephone for the results of
investigations performed at the surgery 7 – 10
days later. Where possible, call after 11am,
when morning surgery is quieter. The reception
staff will be able to instruct you on the
doctors’ comment and any further requests or
instructions.
Hospital results:- X-rays ordered by the doctors in
practice should be available after 10 days and
reception can advise on the doctors’ comments
and any further follow on instructions.
Hospital/consultant requested investigations,
X-rays etc are not so readily available and only
come back to surgery in letter form. If you are
seeing the Consultant in outpatients, you would
usually be informed of the result then.
Cervical smear results:- It routinely takes 8 weeks for cervical
smear results to reach the surgery. Patients are
usually notified from the hospital by letter.
Please contact the surgery if you have not
received your results after 12 weeks.
